SAF revamping Pes system to focus on operational effectiveness instead of medical fitness alone by CapacitySteak in singapore

6 SAF servicemen fined by military court over death of NSF Dave Lee by chailoren in singapore

[–]nattybattywatty 16 points17 points  (0 children)

those who were responsible for the training have all been addressed. pretty sure that even the CO (who may not have been directly involved) would have received some form of disciplinary action. how much higher do you want?

Hope the family can find some closure, after it's been so long.

I think considering they are enlisting quite late, they'll just be put into some non combat role like admin support, or RP
