The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) has three different rank structures for active personnel and reservist personnel, plus a fourth for volunteer servicemen of the SAF Volunteer Corps.
The SAF (since 1983) uses a unified rank structure, with identical rank names and insignia throughout the Army, Navy, and Air Force. For example, traditional navy ranks such as ensign and commander have been replaced with army-style ranks. Only two exceptions exist to the unified rank structure. Firstly, among the flag officer ranks, the navy retains the admiral ranks.
The addendum (NS) beside military personnel ranks will be used when NSFs passed their ORD date and for ex-regulars who still need to complete their reservist cycles until their respective statutory ages eg. 3SG(NS), COL(NS), ME4-1(NS) etc. The addendum (Ret) will be used for regulars who are honorably discharged from service after they reach their statutory age eg. MAJ(Ret), BG(Ret), SWO(Ret) etc.
