Hundreds of friends and family members bade farewell to Second Lieutenant Clifton Lam Jia Hao as he was given a military funeral on Sunday.
Lam died on Wednesday while undergoing jungle training in Brunei.
It was a send-off befitting the dreams and aspiration of Lam, whose life was cut short so unexpectedly.
Friends said Lam had dreamt of being a pilot since he was 13.
As a symbolic gesture, the Republic of Singapore Air Force awarded Lam his pilot wings - posthumously.
In the send-off at the Mandai Crematorium, his coffin, draped in the national flag, was carried by his brothers-in-arms. And a final volley shattered the peaceful Sunday afternoon in honour of a comrade lost.
Family and friends remember Lam for his caring ways.
Lin Zhi Sheng, a full-time NSman, said, "Every time I got bullied, he would stand up for me. He was a very good friend..."
