COL (RET) RAMACHANDRAN MENON

Menon enlisted in the first intake for officer cadet training

although he was already a qualified graduate teacher in the Ministry

of Education. At 26, he was one of the oldest enlistees. After

several staff and command assignments, his senior appointments

in personnel management and army training and as Singapore’s

Defence Attache in Washington and as Director, Public Affairs

and MINDEF Spokesman gave him a broad perspective of critical

aspects of military life. Fortunately, from his point of view, it was

all in peacetime. He retired in January 1995.
