MAJ Khoo Teh Lynn
Having got the bug for flying in her teens, she became the RSAF’s first female fighter pilot and was inducted into the Singapore Women’s Hall of Fame in 2014 – the same year she became a mum. Check out our piece on "Awesome Women Of Singapore", a book released by the Singapore Council of Women's Organisations, in which MAJ Khoo is one of the 160 women featured.
As Singapore's first female fighter pilot, she soared to the skies where no woman had gone before. It is not easy to make the cut to be a fighter pilot in the RSAF. Therefore, the Singapore Council of Women’s Organisation inducted Captain Khoo Teh Lynn into the Singapore Women's Hall of Fame on 14 March 2014, along with 108 other women, who were deemed to have "pushed back the barriers and led the way for others".
Her love for flying began in 1998 when she joined the Youth Flying club. As soon as she left Junior College, she signed up to join The Republic of Singapore Air Force. She secured her fighter wings in 2003, and flies the powerful F-16 Fighting Falcon.
We salute her commitment and dedication as a fighter pilot!

ME3 Sanhti d/o Thanapal
If you need help in an emergency, call her. She helped in the SAR mission for MH370 and heads the Air Ops Section in the Air Operations & Systems Expert (AOSX) School at AWTI.
"I need to juggle life and time management, and I think the Air Force taught me well - how to do time management, and I learnt a lot from it," she says in this video.
"I've been fortunate enough to have Commanding Officers who have been incredibly supportive and who have enabled me to achieve that exclusive balance between work and family."
She was among the first to step up when the SAF was calling for volunteers in the search for the missing MH370 flight back in 2014 ♀️
In the third of our #WomenInTheSAF commentaries, ME3 Sanhti D/O Thanapal shares her experience in the search mission, and why she enjoys her work even after 23 years in The Republic of Singapore Air Force!

International Women's Day: Celebrating Those In The SAF Volunteer Corps
Since its inauguration in 2015, the Singapore Armed Forces Volunteer Corps has seen Singaporeans and PRs (like these individuals here) pledge their commitment and loyalty to the SAF and the defence of our Little Red Dot. | Photos: (clockwise from top left) Facebook/@FitnessMantraSingapore, Instagram/@kellylatimer and @brendaenggggg, Facebook/@oursingaporearmy and Instagram/@eileeeen_leong
"When you take things for granted, the things you are granted get taken."
We never want this to happen, especially when it comes to the peace and security of Singapore. That is why this International Women's Day (8 March), we want to thank and celebrate the women in the Singapore Armed Forces Volunteer Corps (SAFVC).
Inaugurated in 2015, the SAFVC is, according to the SAFVC website, "a uniformed volunteer scheme introduced to provide more Singaporeans and Permanent Residents with the opportunity to contribute to national defence, show support for National Service and deepen their understanding and ownership of national defence".
The SAFVC kicked off with an inaugural intake of 226 volunteers. Today, it has close to 1,000.
"SAFVC is strong today because we stand on the shoulders of giants. Since the establishment of SAFVC in February 2015, our predecessors have built a strong foundation, and instilled a deep sense of belonging in each of us," said COL Cheong Yunn Shaur, Commander SAFVC, in his address to the volunteers during a virtual celebration in February of the corps' 6th anniversary.

SV1 Cheng Yingmei
One of the unexpected results of launching the SAFVC was that it started drawing wives of SAF Regulars.
"The SAF Volunteer Corps is not only attracting new citizens and PRs but wives of Regulars too, who want to experience some of what their husbands do daily," wrote Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen in a Facebook post dated 6 Mar 2019.
"Wives of Regulars joining as SVs was unexpected when we launched the programme but it’s a pleasant and positive surprise. I hope that their common experiences will bring them and their families closer."
One example he cited was SV1 Cheng Yingmei who joined SAF’s second batch of Volunteer Corps in 2016 and now serves on board the Republic of Singapore Navy’s Landing Ships Tank as a Bridge Watchkeeper.
According to the post, her husband 2WO Lim Chee Seng, a naval diver from the Naval Diving Unit, gave her invaluable training tips, from how to best apply camo to shooting well with the SAR 21.

SV Julia Chua
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented countless opportunities for everyone in the country to step forward and do their part for the community.
In a Facebook post dated 28 May 2020, Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen highlighted SV Julia Chua as an individual who "volunteered with the contact tracing centre to help ensure that those serving their Stay-Home Notice or in quarantine stayed alright".

SV Chintal
Like Kelly Latimer, Chintal wanted to give back to "Singapore, the country which has embraced us as citizens and given us more than we could ever dream of". More importantly, she sees her volunteerism as a source of inspiration to her son when it is his time to do national service.

SV1 Kelly Latimer
The TV host and mum made the decision to serve when she renounced her UK citizenship in 2016, and felt a duty to protect her country as a new citizen.
"A lot of people just move here and take for granted the safety and security. Everybody enjoys it but without actually realising what it takes to keep it that way," she says in the video above. "And now that I've got a young family, I want to be able to give back to that, in whatever way, shape or form that I can. And for me, it was giving back through SAFVC."

SV3 May Tan
There aren't many SV3's in the SAFVC. Yes, even the SAFVC has a ranking system - from SV (Trainee) to SV4 (sibei tok kong). SV3 May Tan, a systems engineer, is one of them.
"Joining the SAFVC also allowed me to gain a deeper insight into NS which my brothers and co-workers have undergone. This further strengthened my resolve, motivating me to serve our nation as much as I could within my own means," she says in a Facebook post by The Singapore Army.
