thanks for clarifying, was reading up previous pages - someone said it's DX9 is LTA etc. Anyway, do DXO use their 'rank' often.

just curious are you a DXO or regular soldier (i assume you answered to the previous post..)?

not sure what you mean 'use'. but in military, our grade will help identify the officers/non-officers and their relative rank in the unit. cause we are working in a military organisation, so these grades helps. in some places though, they use manager/director to differentiate though. depends on the unit/dept.

im a DXO. and all my posts have certain hint that will shows its me.

i noted that, so that why i assumed to be the same person. thanks for answering

thank you for the insights. just curious, is it easy to transfer/rotate to another workplace with the DXO scheme?

So do you greet others by their name, then? My NS experience was quite limited to understand the structure of how DXO fits into an organisation - we call our officer Sir/ LTA Tan.. I am keen to apply for some in-camp roles, I was just wondering if DXO would be-friend other colleagues easier, and what do you address them - Sir or CPT Tan or..... If everyone's is uniform, then i know that same rank not so formal if you know them personally.

Do dxo roles report to other dxo or military regulars?

Dx9 is sub divided into 3 ranks. B, S and P. Most fresh grads under 3 years of experience are probably 9b, some 9S.

However I tend to disagree that dx9 = CPT, because the salary scale is closer to LTA. However HR insists that one should not cross reference it this way. A DXO is not graded or appraised according to the uniformed regular scheme.

No rule on this. My RO is LTC.

I see. Do you address them by appointment or just generic Sir? I used to call my KAHs as their title (CO,SM etc). What about your other colleagues?

dxo is an ok job it seems cause cannot OT (cause cannot bring home computer) with some military perks (off days, cohesion, and those sort of army events).

how is it like working in a red-zone office?

cannot bring camera phone? what about usb cable, no usb cables too? will saf pay/reimburse for a non-camera phone? haha.
