Assalamu'alaikum readers.
Untuk pengetahuan semua , palapes di USM kubang kerian baru saja ditubukan sejak 3 tahun yang lalu bermula dari tahun 2013.Jadi batch kami merupakan peringkat yang ke-3 yang menyertai pasukan ini di USM kubang kerian .
PALAPES stands for Pasukan Latihan Pegawai Simpanan.The english version is ROTU which stands for Reserve Officers Training Unit. Darat is referring to the land Army. So me and my squad will be joining PALAPES Darat. So what's the difference between PALAPES and Wataniah?

In Wataniah, we are trained as Privates (Prebet). Privates are the lowest ranks of the miltary ranking structure. Some may also advance to be a Lance Corporal but usually that's the highest that u can get after finishing the 3 years doing Wataniah in IPTAs.

In PALAPES, we are trained to be Officers (Pegawai). An Officer is of a much higher rank than privates. In fact, it is even a higher level than Sergeants and Warrant Officers. Sergeants have to salute the Officers. After finishing 3 years in the PALAPES course, we will be commissioned as a Second Lieutenant (Leftenan Muda). It is the lowest rank in the Officers group. There are mass advantages of becoming an officer when u are in the working life.





That's all form me.Thank you for reading ❤❤
