wah so much $$ man, I remembr used to queue up at ATM to withdraw my 210 bucks.Originally posted by DXuan:Don't worry about it.. latest news is from August on it's gonna change to 455. That's the month I go in lol.... So although if it's still not enough, the government has this theory that they are paying for EVERYTHING. Food, Lodging everything. And the Sargeants in the army tell you "The Gahmen is paying you all to do star jump, do pumping..." So there... Although I prefer if NS got scrapedThis is actually pretty good money already

though i m not longer a recruit anymore, i am still wondering the rationale behind this ?

It's through that if you had the 2 years of your life you probably could get the 100k a year like you said. But he started his own company with his childhood friend and he made breakthroughs which benefitted us and of cos gave us trouble(look at all the loopholes in winxpOriginally posted by SibeiSuayKia:Pay me 455 to die?
No thanx
i rather treat it as a "labour" of love
zz
i spent 2 years of my life..when i pursue my master and phd later on
i will be able to earn almost 100k a year..
455 ..im rich enough to pay this amount to someone monthly for him to take my place in NS..anyone?

Army roadmarch chant o.Othey pay 100, they take back 99. just take and shut-up.
hm.. yes i am a commissioned officer. but dont forget i was a recruit before that.Originally posted by ah_tee:hi guys
but then i was jus thinking, even the poly attachment student is getting MORE than a LANCE CORPORAL pay
....
Wuming, u asked wads wrong wif 350, i rem vividly u were a commionsed officer correct?
theoritically, if we dun go out on wkends, dun eat out, eat bread, drink plain water, dun use hp, still can make it, but then think again, all the sufferings from wkends, mus we still torture ourselves like this ?
if they can afford to give regulars so much more above the norm market, y not jus really take a look at NSFs, at the standards of living now, 350 is definitely not enuff,
If u ask me now somehow i feel the gahment is taking NSFs for granted, jus becos they are bound by the enlistment act means they can be paid anyhow...
i know its not a pay, but having a allowance where 50percent of it will be on ur transport is not getting anywhere, and not all people have rich parents to dpend on, my BMT mate, gives everything to his parents, his total pay to his parents, cos his family really need it, of cos its absurd to ask for 1k-2k, but maybe it be something comparable to a factory worker?
if one day theres need to, i will still pickup my AR15 to fight, but am i fighting for myself, or for my country?
