  There was a BG at 2PDF once, he was in long 4. Hair was salt and pepper, and the trainees I was with, almost didn't see his rank and saluted him in a very kancheong manner.
  
  He merely chuckled and wished us a good morning, and said that we didn't have to salute him.
  
  Looked grandfatherly too.

  It is the tradition to call senior NCOs 'Sir' and not encik in Engineers formation. So used to doing this we had trouble when we saw enciks from other formations and we automatically call them 'Sir'.
