One thing's for sure, police force sure pays better, for you guys who are intending to sign for Officer level - PIs, junior officers above up to certain rank.
Even the NSPIs - NSF Police Inspectors, who carry small pistols to clear Obstacle Course (when SAF personnel carry SBO, plus dummy mags and grenades, sometimes knn plus field pack) also earn more than SAF equivalent.
But as a whole, the police deal with real internal security issues, grapple with real threats more frequently than SAF combat personnel, maybe this is why they are paid slightly better. But it's really just different roles, SPF for homeland security, SAF deter and respond to foreign threats.
To a certain extent, "blue arrows and red arrows on a telt sheet, at the end of the day, are but blue and red arrows." This I heard from a lao jiao saf officer.
But really, depends on your interest and personality lar. Also, have to find out more about the job scope before signing on. DO SOME RESEARCH. If you were from NCC or NPCC then I would say you have a little bit of experience... little bit only. Coz real thang is quite different ah.
Have a taste of BMT first lar, before you make your decision. I don't think SAF or SPF will take in people whose calibre they know nothing about. Must see your performance in BMT also.
If you really sign, then... respek... you're doing your part for Singapore.

My word of advice is STILL to attain OCS entry and become a commissioned officer then sign on. Signing on for officership even before you step into army may just be a deathknell. You heard of what happens to pilots? Well, same goes.

I'm a red-green colour deficiency soldier and PES A. In Armour, there are so many such AI ppl with red-green deficiency. Even my AI PC also a red-green deficiency officer ... but not for tankees .. in the early 70s, if your are colour blind, or more than 100kg in weight, straight away PES C ... now ah ... wait long long liao ...Originally posted by VivId CrItiQuE:i am colour deficient(red green), issit possible for me to sign on as an officer after i get my degree? issit better to complete OCS during NS and go for my degree course and come back to serve full time. OR, nv get into OCS during NS, but sign on as an officer and complete OCS after i get my degree. Any difference between the 2?
I was also offered to sign on as a Guards officer back in 1993 after my medical check-up ... but never took up ...
