Christan Turbocharged September 12, 2007 Share September 12, 2007 Taken from Asiaone.com http://news.asiaone.com/News/AsiaOne%2BNew...0912-25192.html Not surprising when people who sign on for 6 years don't want to sign any more (As told by the regulars themselves) ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beei 1st Gear September 12, 2007 Share September 12, 2007 I like the Mr Tan's reply, "I don't think I'll look just at the money. Money I can get anytime. I also have to consider how my career's growth prospects." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_mel 1st Gear September 12, 2007 Share September 12, 2007 Sell your soul to the devil for six years....not worth it. Two and a half years of NS is way too long enough for me already. I want to live my life as a human-being, not a dog. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freestylers09 5th Gear September 12, 2007 Share September 12, 2007 Roman reported to pay the Russian 1 million pound each (i think so about this figure) if they beat England tonite.(in football everyone wants to win,so this is super extra $.)They said i'm playing for my country..not for the $...even if win,also reject this $ coz not its the passion to serve the country to drive them to win instead.i wonder how many 'them' here will do this[sly] ...take note..footballers not all educated there...but the distinguish the pride and for the service to the country...

Coolpica 4th Gear September 12, 2007 Share September 12, 2007 Depends on vocation. My friend who left the airforce as aircraft technician could find a job quite fast. Maybe he was lucky, but think it's due to his vocation and with Singapore wanting to be a regional aerospace hub, I think it should be quite easy for aircraft technician to find jobs.

Nolicense Turbocharged September 12, 2007 Share September 12, 2007 agree, denpend on vocation. unfortunately my friend not aircraft tech. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickster 5th Gear September 12, 2007 Share September 12, 2007 That is the reason why very few pple want to sign on with the army. If only they do not anyhow chop pple off when they are 45 yrs old (for even non-combat vocations ), things will be alot different liao. Probably I'd have signed on liao Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickster 5th Gear September 12, 2007 Share September 12, 2007 I agree, my dad left the air force 15 yrs ago as an aircraft tech. He easily got a job as an engineer and now pay is quite Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolpica 4th Gear September 12, 2007 Share September 12, 2007 Let's see what are the best vocations, in terms of re - empolyment, in SAF? 1) Pilot 2) A/C technician 3) Air Engineering Officer . . . . . Anymore to add? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerdyfrog Neutral Newbie September 12, 2007 Share September 12, 2007 agree man, too many regulars worry about being jobless after they leave army. they still have the mentality of a lifetime ricebowl. which is not true. Today, when i went to work around 7am in the morning, i saw a KFC uncle, about 50+ yo sleeping on a bench outside KFC. The KFC wun open until 11am. so i concluded that he slept there over the night til the next day he start work again. Could be homeless as well as no family. when i saw that sight, i told myself, i cannot end up like that. i think we will work till we die with no retirement....

Christan Turbocharged September 12, 2007 Author Share September 12, 2007 These regulars aren't living as dogs, it's just that the army treat them as dogs, everything 'bao ka liao' but pay so much lower than officer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hummer 3rd Gear September 12, 2007 Share September 12, 2007 I think it only applies for Army combat vacations. Is RSAF considered combat vocation? Correct me if I am wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickster 5th Gear September 12, 2007 Share September 12, 2007 Exactly..I really think the army should consider pro longing the age whereby one can serve as a regular, espcially in the area of non-combat or support units. I don't see why one cannot be a competent medic/aircraft tech/mechanic/radar operator/logistic just because he/she is 45 yrs old..stupid policy the army has For pple who sign on chiong sua vocations like infantry & armour I understand...but at least give pple the option to be transfered to any non-combat vocations or at least go back to the lower level of civil service.

Christan Turbocharged September 12, 2007 Author Share September 12, 2007 Those 1* & above need not worry, at most the gov will create a special position somewhere for them to continue working like the recent fellow who left the Army to join Temasek in a new job.
