Still on the topic of the army(ever since the boliaonjcians enlisted there really isn't much else to talk about), i believe many civilians out there do not understand the ranks of army personnels and it is really very confusing. Hence, boliaonjcians is kind enough to provide a short introduction to ranks in the army:
Warrant Officers, Specialists, and Enlistees
* REC - Really Enduring Camp in Tekong
* PTE - Physically Trained Expert after Tekong
* LCP - Lowest Confident Personnel in camp due to inexperience, also known as "Lan Chao Bing"
* CPL - Cannot Play Liao because you are a senior NSF, also known as "Kao Beh Lang" as they always complain alot
* SGT - Saying Goodbye Thank you, because you are at the end of your service
* SSG - Showing Social Grace by asking people to call you staff instead of sergeant
* MSG - Must Say Good no matter what your commanders so that you get your 1st epaulette on your shoulder faster
* MWO - Must Watch Out for n00bs making mistakes and make them sign extra
* SWO - Still Waiting Orders because you are somehow still lower ranked than commissioned officers even if you have loads more experience than them
Officers
* LTA - Listening To Advice because your officer-commanding told you to do so and you cannot disobey. LTA normally graudates to work in the Land Transport Authority and listen to the advices by traffic police.
* CPT - Call Please Thanks, too busy with work, no time to reply
* MAJ - Must Always Joke so that people in SAFTI MI will recognise your "Leadership" and send you to command
* LTC - Later Then Confirm because you have too many meetings to attend
* COL - Content Over Leadership since you have already commanded so many people
* BG - Better (be) Gone, so that someone can replace you...
* MG - Media Glamour, especially if you are Chief of Army, pictures always taken for mass media purposes
* LG - Life's good, nowhere higher to go, nothing to do also. (Too bad Singapore do not have a 4 star general!!) LG generals also organise an annual party cum chalet at the government owned Aloha Resort where a lucky draw will be held and the winner will walk away with a 42 inch Plasma LG TV.
So, we boliaonjcian hope all you civilians out there will have a better idea of life in the army and our ranks after this short intro. And to end it off, a 'motivational' poster
