Maybe I did not elaborate clearly ....Originally posted by |-|05|:inclusive of NS if 5 years not 4.....4 years is the bond.Read your contract carefully lah!!And the contract is 10 years.
ADF is army infantry unit attached to the Airforce. Yes 4 years is the bond in cluding NS liability..however like |-|05| mentioned, after completing your fourth year of your bond, you are obliged to serve an addtional year as part of the clause. Upon 10 years of service, you are entitled a lump sum, but this 10 years is not part of the clause in the contract, just that if you choos to serve <10years, you don't get the money...not really a prob to me... 
-
nope you do not need to serve the full contract but the contract is a full 10 years under the saver scheme.Sure you can be released before the 10 years is up but that is at the discretion of Mindef.If their short of manpower and stuff they can make you stay on the full 10 yearsOriginally posted by Seshiro:Maybe I did not elaborate clearly ....

Edit:Oh 1 more thing part of the clause says you need to serve the additional year? well actually no need you can leave and become and NSF for 6months!However most serve the 1 year due to better pay hehe -
Is that so? Hmm...I never know that ...Wow thanks man...You could have juz saved me ....actually my status still pemding...Academically, I qualified , but then medically, that time I fractured my hand during my martial arts training then my med status went pending...Wah if like that I muz really consider..my friend who sign on show me his contract but I never saw the clause that you stated above...If what you say is true thyen really muz reconsider liao...coz I only want to earn enough money for myself to further studies.Originally posted by |-|05|:nope you do not need to serve the full contract but the contract is a full 10 years under the saver scheme.Sure you can be released before the 10 years is up but that is at the discretion of Mindef.If their short of manpower and stuff they can make you stay on the full 10 years
