  Hiz!
  
  I heard from my frens who r senior techs...
  what is yr diploma in?
  the working hours are long and there is no OT pay...
  claim for taxi reimburse may take up to years...
  in other words, if u r paid S$2000 and juz work S$2000 work over there, u r considered cannot make it liaoz and will find it hard to qualify for PP2.

  if you complete your service without any problems, there's a cert given to you that should be recognised in the industry.
  
  whether you stay or not is not up to you

  my fren spent 7 years as air tech. took him quite some time to find job after ORDing. do not be cheated by the promises of "can go to so and so airline to find job, they're more than willing to hire you".
  
  the most blunt and honest reply my fren got was "our 747 not as advance as your f16".

  your friend should have went to get CAAS papers while he was in service to remain in demand, he probably made a mistake in relying on RSAF too much~

  if you're referring to the diploma scholarship thing, from my own experience, there is alot alot alot of small print. for senior tech in airforce, if i remember correctly only two or three diploma courses can qualify for a/f senior tech. and from what i see from my seniors, first day of school holiday, book into camp. last day of holiday, book out. the money is not bad though.

  coz it's probably the most 'normal' of jobs the SAF can offer.
