We are sure every vocation in the army is integral to the entire force. It's just that when you are serving your part, you're not entirely sure what others do and you only interact with them based on just one aspect of their vocations.

Hence we misunderstand or magnify some of their idiosyncrasies.

Since it is SAF Day today, we dedicate this list to our regular and NS servicemen, by providing these vocations with brutally honest and accurate descriptions.

This list is joking only ah, don't so serious.

1. Chief Clerk

Without them, we cannot go on off. They also handle our leave matters, so we can't piss them off.

2. Company Sergeant Major

Dutifully ensuring the camp is always in tip-top and respectable condition.

3. Regimental Sergeant Major

Making sure all the men have the latest SAF-accepted hairstyles, good-fitting uniforms and stylishly shiny boots so they look and feel kilat.

4. Armskote IC

Up till this day, we still have no idea what will happen if our signature goes out of the box.

5. Medic

When they are not poking each other (practicing injections, lah!), they are making sure jerry cans are always filled with water for us to drink. Care for soldiers, ok!

6. BMT Platoon Sergeant

Very effective system. Always works and never fails. Strengthening recruits' arm muscles since 1967.

7. Commanding Officer

Yup, wherever he goes, he keeps everyone on their toes.

8. Signaler

Just because they handle signal equipment, everything that is related to audio-visual technologies they have to take responsibility.

9. Driver

This vocation is very hard to misunderstand. They can also help us dabao supper some times.

10. Commando

Everyday cheong sua. Every year go NDP and march.

11. Military Police

When you drive army vehicles in public remember not to speed, ok? When you wear your No.4 in public don't light up also. Most importantly, don't let your maid carry your bag hor.

12. Recruits

We were all there once. Once we become lao jiaos, suddenly we think all the recruits are very blur and noob.

13. Air Force pilot

One job every day look at NSFs and regulars, another one every day look at stewardesses. Which one do you think they like?

14. Regimental Policeman / Security Troopers

If you have a camera phone just declare it, ok? Not worth signing extra or paying fine.
