I think those drivers who drove the Audi and Mercs in SAF are regulars. That what the driver who drove Rear-Admiral Teo ard told me one. And must be at least a 2nd SGT rank. But that was way back in 1999.

 

I was in charge of a carpark for an event and have to ensure that Teo's SAF Audi has a lot. The driver drove him to the event and then come to the carpark to park the car. The driver cannot leave the car so we chit chat while he was there lor. Not sure if he smoke me. I was not interested in cars then, was just given the job to guard the carpark and ensure only invited SAF personnel car park there only. :D

That should be about right. 6th DIV Commander's driver is SSG rank.

I think so too. Was at the mess at Mindef near the tpt line. someone mentioned at least 2SG to drive the bigshots around. They had a fleet of W123 back in 1990s.

i drove m113, sm1, fiat 3 tonner, 5 tonner and land rover

 

[pirate] none of them luxurious [pirate]

 

I wasn't a driver but I did convert my civilian class 3 license to a SAF LOA during NS.

 

Drove before the MB290 1.5 tonner, Landrover defender, Opel GP car, Mit Lancer GP car and Ford minibus. My favourite is the 1.5 tonner... :D
