Seriously, when the economy is doing well, people will try to stay away from such jobs. When the economy is bad, such jobs will sorta be like temp jobs for some.
No surprise why most don't stay. -

but there'll still be a number of pple who signed on because of their passion.. -
That's rare, but they do exist.Originally posted by vIn.Warrior:yes.

Put it this way. Statistically, there will be that small but regular number of people signing on, the constant. It's the variable that they really want to try to increase. -
no wonder violent crimes are on a rise with less visible police patrols...the chiefs are being rotated at an amazing rate, about 3 to 4 years then sent to insead in france (i thought the one in sg was touted as being the same?) and then 'returned' to administrative service....Originally posted by Othello_Red:Same with Police i heard.

Compulsory early retirement no one wants that
-
Odd... A few years ago, they actually had too many officers and they starting chaffing them out.
I guess with the economy supposedly doing well, the circumstances have reversed... -
I think singaporeans should be able to volunteer to serve. Compulsory military is ok but I would be more impressed and respect that soldier who volunteers to serve and even for no money. That is true dedication to serve and protect the nation.
How many such talents does singapore have?
Singapore's line of defence is our soldiers right? -
why no ppl sign on for airfore or navy? why all go sign for infantry? weird. airofrce and navy also not bad what

me use to be regular but ORD years ago. for the above statment it depends on forces and dept that these servicemen serve. For my batch, 11 out of 12 ORD. for my junior batch, 10 out of 13 stay. IN recent years, most are force to ORD due to overwhelming ppl who prefer to stay. we cannot have a armed forces where there too many " lao chek" no working crew.
pay isnt that great in today market terms but it offer good benefits, stable working hours. reasonable bonus. -
Personal displeasures notwithstanding, I personally feel that careers in the army are fairly unstimulating.
Now correct me if I'm wrong, but I've always wondered why people labelled the SAF as a wayang place. After going through NS, I can see why. I'm not saying its an easy job, but it seems to be one that is fairly undemanding in most aspects, physical exertions excepted.
As for the volunteers, realistically, if Singapore depended solely on them, Singapore probably wouldn't exist today.
Also, I don't think this problem of high turnover rates is one that's limited to our army. I have a friend who's an ex-US Marine. He told me he left soon as he could, that it was a waste of his time. Really changed my perception of a professional army (i.e. one without conscripts). -
