To become Cpl already so hard. Sgt is such an important rank. Maybe takes 10-12 years.
Then officers, Cpt takes time. Major longer. A full Colonel. Really well trained and experienced then can reach.
And these people actually have deployments. Sick as hell training. Even at home is dangerous if deployed to N Ireland.
Overseas missions always likely.
And they also have access to modern technology.

Our SAF is soooo wonderful. Talk macam superpower. Everybody is Sgt. Every officer got dunno white horse, unicorn also.
Some more got military experts too.

If play war on computer I think we are a superpower already.
How many can actually fight or willing to fight.
I'm not saying all won't fight, sure will have some. But majority is confronted by an enemy prepared to fight to death, you think they will?
Even those on reservist always talk as if NS so important. You really can and will fight? When your officers twaddle thumbs and only thinking of post army careers?
Not to mention, so small island, cannot even put all the weapons here.
You really tell me you will fight to your dying breath?

Malaysian army may not be that strong weapons wise. But at leats they have actual battle experience in East Malaysia. Soldiers are killed and targetted and they sometimes have to fight insurgents.

We may win them in technology and destroy their ability to use their weapons and infrastructure. But actuall boots on the ground? Can we hold on?

Rank inflation is rife in the SAF

by the age our kiddie scholars reach flag rank, a West Point grad who has been in combat is probably a major or LTC

and any halfwit SAF NS monkey is a sergeant just by clocking at the cookhouse

but it doesn’t matter

northland armed forces is such a lamentable joke even NCC will crush them in 5 working days

A Look Back at Prince Charles's Service in the Navy
The heir to the throne followed in his father's footsteps on the high seas.

While you might think that being heir to the throne would be a full time job in and of itself, before Prince Charles settled into life as a working royal, Queen Elizabeth's oldest son followed a generations-old family tradition by serving in the navy. Here's everything you need to know about Charles's time as a military man.

Prince Charles with Captain and Admiral
1971
In September 1971, the year after his investiture as the Prince of Wales, Prince Charles followed in the footsteps of his father, grandfather, and great-grandfathers by starting out on a naval career, a move which was depicted in season three of The Crown. That year, he trained as a jet pilot at Royal Air Force Cranwell in Lincolnshire before enrolling in the Britannia Royal Naval College for a six week course of study.

Prince Charles
1973
Charles began his military service on the guided missile destroyer HMS Norfolk in 1971, then went on to serve on two frigates, the HMS Minerva from 1972 to 1973, and the HMS Jupiter in 1974.

1974
While in his second year at Cambridge, Charles had requested flying lessons from the RAF (he even flew himself to his jet pilot training in 1971) and in 1974 he doubled-down on aeronautic skills by receiving qualification as a helicopter pilot. From there he joined the 845 Naval Air Squadron aboard the HMS Hermes.

While Charles had a long family history of naval service, some of his most direct inspiration for joining up may have come from his great-uncle Lord Louis Mountbatten. Mountbatten, who Charles saw as more of an honorary grandfather and confidant, had a long and distinguished naval career, serving among other positions as an admiral of the fleet as well as the last viceroy of India.

Mountbatten had a huge impact on Charles and advised him not only on his education and naval career, but also his love life.

Gentle reminder.

The wars these angmoh generals were fighting against weakly armed and sanctioned countries by the US NATOed UN.

Wait for WW3 with China and allied Russia Iran, these angmoh generals will die on the battlefield.

WW3 need highly educated military trained like PAP scholars where planning come first in the classroom.

This I can tell you how I can win the Chinese Chess computer games many times in less than 15 mins each game....

Numerous iterate practices, precision execution of the methods like in the classroom room to train the IQ.... like algorithmic system...

In field battle just execute the functions and cleared the battle in a shortest time possible.

You are going off point

We are talking rank inflation not battlefield prowess

But your computer gaming capabilities are duly noted . I am sure they translate precisely to real life expectations and outcomes.

You would have defeated Nazi Germany AND Imperial Japan in 2 weeks had you been born 80 years ago

Our PM Lee, Bro Chun Sing and our scholars are very capable. It makes no sense to let talent get stuck for years in the lower ranks simply to massage the feelings of the low achievers.

Apparently our pinkie went from OCT to BG at breakneck speed . Only lost to Fatty Kim who was born a Field Marshal . You have anything to prove this claim ?
