The audience at the 25th Rota Commander Course (RCC) Commissioning Ceremony was decked out in a sea of colours. But one audience member stood out in his well-starched No. 3 uniform: 1WO Subramaniam of the Republic of Singapore Air Force beamed with pride as he watched his 20-year-old son Dev become a commissioned officer of the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF).<\/p>

Two months on, LTA Dev still remembers the day vividly. \u201cTears welled up in my eyes as my dad buttoned the Lieutenant epaulette on my shoulder,\u201d he recalls. \u201cI became more emotional when he saluted me.\u201d The moment was even more special since 1WO Subra had once challenged LTA Dev before his enlistment to the SCDF. \u201cHe challenged me to get selected for the RCC course when it didn\u2019t seem likely that I would, since my PES (Physical Employment Standard) status then was B2.\u201d<\/p>

An NSF\u2019s PES status is assigned based on their medical condition. It is one of the considerations that determines their vocation during NS.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

LTA Dev overcame the fitness hurdle, determined to do his best. \u201cBeing an only child, I\u2019m very close to my parents; I owe a lot to them,\u201d he explains. His mother gave up a career as a legal secretary for one in the real estate sector. This gave her the flexible hours she needed so she could care for him while his father served in the Republic of Singapore Air Force for the past 33 years. It\u2019s from the latter that LTA Dev gets his fierce patriotism and determination to excel. \u201cMy mother has also been a tremendous cheerleader through it all.\u201d<\/p>

Their support was crucial during the RCC \u2013 a rigorous, seven-month programme designed to inculcate critical leadership qualities and lifesaving skills in SCDF officers who will take on frontline duties. LTA Dev remembers booking out exhausted, both mentally and physically. During those times, his parents\u2019 unwavering confidence in him kept him going. \u201cThey would say: \u2018If there\u2019s anyone who can do it, it\u2019s you\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Over his two years in the Force, LTA Dev has attended many other courses, from the Section Commander Course to the Fire Fighting Course. But he maintains that the RCC is the most enjoyable. \u201cEach training course has a unique focus: The Fire Fighting Course naturally focuses on the hands-on aspect of civil defence, while the Section Commander Course emphasises on leadership.\u201d LTA Dev enjoyed the RCC\u2019s emphasis on seeing the bigger picture and public presentation skills. \u201cI also loved that we were training with different people, including female officers and regulars. The experience taught me how to interact with people from all backgrounds.\u201d<\/p>

Those lessons come in handy in his present role in the Office of the Director of the Civil Defence Academy (CDA), where he works closely with the facility\u2019s director, AC Alan Chow. LTA Dev supports the unit when it hosts visits from foreign delegations, most recently from Brunei and Japan. He also helps with training audits and works closely with the CDA\u2019s discipline and safety branches.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Does he miss being at the frontline? \u201cMany people have asked me that before and I definitely miss the thrill of lugging a 64mm-diameter hose up a stairwell or scaling the side of Marina Bay Sands,\u201d he shares. \u201cBut since young, I\u2019ve been very drawn to administrative work, so I am passionate about my current role.\u201d<\/p>

This passion also stems from being able to see the impact of his work. \u201cWhile you\u2019re leading a section or supporting operations, your ability to make an impact is limited to those immediately around you. But supporting the policy work of the CDA allows me to leave a lasting legacy,\u201d he says, referring to his current efforts to improve the code of conduct for instructors in the Academy.<\/p>

LTA Dev is in the final stretch of his NS journey. Within the next year, he\u2019ll be an undergraduate at the National University of Singapore, working towards a law degree. The four-year programme will likely challenge him, but LTA Dev is sure that no matter how hard things get, he\u2019ll be able to count on his family for support and motivation.<\/p>

\u201cThey\u2019re my everything!\u201d he says.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
