2010 MAY Navy Open House, Singapore

[xtemujin]

Firstly, many thanks to the Republic of Singapore Navy(RSN) Open House 2010 committee and personnel for the well organised Navy open house and the warm hospitality shown to the visitors.

It was a marked change compared to the Army Open House 2009 where some of the army warrant officers who behaved like thugs and questioning photographers taking photos at an open house ?

At the RSN open house, the personnel were actively encouraging people to take photos and this is the first time that the public was allowed to photograph the Formidable class torpedo, Harpoon and Aster launching bays.

I see, then we're probably 2 to 3 persons away from each other - I'm gauging the distance from the middle Special Forces guy pointing the Carbine at me. Not really, the chap next to me was happily downing a huge bag of chips or something... :bsmilie: I can't even hear my camera's shutter sound!

 

[xtemujin]

Lol, I concur, we're quite near.

Cheers.

I gotta agree with about the AOH warrant officers... anyways Navy guys as far as i am concern are generally more friendlier and accommodative. Maybe its the way they were trained.

Yeah, a lot of people were making remarks that during the AOH2009, some of the warrant officers were very hostile with the public and especially with the photographers.

The sad part is that they were giving the red carpet treatment to the foreign soldiers who were visiting the open house while totally being openly hostile with the Singaporean visitors.

I concur, that the RSN personnel were much more friendlier even during the NOH2007.

Cheers.
