Well, the commercial looks good and that its. As usual, our SAF is visually impressive but completely screwy in reality.
An army that has to depend on slick ads says it all about their ability in reality here.
I mean, SAF isn't Apple Inc. Its products are not like iPods.
pian ki na only.
That's why I'd never sign on. I respect those who want it, but I fear that they will, in time, regret it. Younger people who did eventually have or would quit after 6 years. It says it for itself.
some ppl serve for 20 years only to have mindef kick them in the teeth when they reach late 30s
all become taxi driver or cisco supervisor
yes is true. SAF generals only got steel within but no brains. Our CPF entirely depleted.
NS is killing Sg.
**Yawning**
A timely advert to recruit soldiers (LOCK them in for 10 Years) due to this Recession.

That's why unless you're desperate, you should really, really consider, consider and consider some more before you make such a big decision. Otherwise you live to regret it. And once you're in your 30s, it gets harder to learn stuff in University.
Signing on the SAF is not like signing on with the US, UK or Oz armed forces.
Luckily for me I got out after the first contract, I heard now a days it is minimum 10 years after which if you continue the next contract no point think about quitting cos by that time most probably one will be in their late 30s...what can they do by then?
I got out by year 6, and now embarking on a better paying and more fulfilling career. I still got batch mates who wants to finish their 10 years and get their gratuity which probably amounts to something like 15-17k? As for the ones who got their 2nd contract, they can rot inside and become unproductive for the rest of their natural lives.
