an Operationally Ready National Serviceman expressed his anxiety at being called back for reservist. Asking the forumers for advice, the NSman said that he was being called back for service after many many years and that all his ORD mates have ROD MR already.
‘SAF 100’ is the official notice informing NSmen of their call-up, while FBO refers to Full Battle Order. The SAF No. 4 is common, standard attire and is widely known as the ‘smart 4’. The NSman said that he was still holding on to his old camouflage uniform and gears. His boots are also damaged. He asked if he should report for duty in his old No. 4.
“It maybe better not to turn up in old no.4 uniform coz by “law” all must wear the new uniform. Last time can buy old army uniform at army market/beach road. I am not sure of the new pixel design uniform.”
