The rest I dunno but NCM was an F5 fighter pilot. Not transport. Not helicopter. Not even air traffic control.

Like the cdo of army or diver of navy.... It just doesn't get more real than that.

This one most satki... First time I see colonel only got the 2 Long Service Medals as ribbons.

You don't know this meh?
Lee Hsien Loong was born in 1952.
Enlisted in SAF as a Recruit in 1971.
Disrupted his OCS training and was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in 1971.
Went to Cambridge on a President's Scholarship and graduated in 1974. Returned to SAF as a Lieutenant.
He was then promoted to Brigadier General in 1983 (he also disrupted to do a Masters degree at Harvard in 1980).
Basically he served 8 years of active service in the SAF, in which time he was promoted from Lieutenant to BG (that's six ranks).
The ranks of CPT to COL all have two grades each. Meaning that he was promoted NINE times in eight years.

Truly a military legend - I can't think of a General with a record this stellar. Patton, Pershing, Mountbatten, McArthur and Powell are all left trailing in his wake.
all these promotions without fighting a single war.

Our only credible CDF in recent years is Perry Lim. Good thing he didn't join PAP or GLC after retiring from SAF but chose private sector instead.

The other generals in TS's posts are just not credible.

Guards officers generally can trust. Only black sheep is TCJ.
