Here's some info: http://www.mindef.gov.sg/arc/study/stu_1200_SISS.html
What is your area of professional interest? I think you should get your initial briefing comprehensively from the recruitment people, then perhaps come here for any follow-up questions. -
NEVER NEVER sign on because of $.....you will learn the hard way if you do so. Better go in, see if you like the life in there then make the decision
-

you want to be a sheep and follow the herd? then go and study and join a company and climb your way up from there. -

I am now really confused to join the SAF-ITE Sponsorship Scheme or not
So if any one go any experience please post and i need ur help to think this out -
i think in the end, other than having a sponsorship to study, you should also like the profession you are getting into. else you may either be wasting years of your time, or spending it miserably.Originally posted by SerialBox:I am now really confused to join the SAF-ITE Sponsorship Scheme or not

ask your friends who know more about signing on. at least know what you are getting into. understand what you yourself are interested in too. you mentioned you like action. that's a good first step. but many other professions have action too, e.g. police, medical, civil defence, and in fact, these may have more "real life" action than the armed forces, which we naturally hope will never get to see real action.
many people discourage signing on for money. there must be a reason why. signing on is really not like any other profession. there are conditions to be met (a minimum term of engagement, the willingness to be under military law, the consideration of the environment and hierarchy and structure, etc). in a way, it requires the person to make a certain amount of sacrifice. hence if the only motivation one has to the profession is the benefits, one will probably find himself burnt out rather quickly. it will not benefit anyone.
find out more about the profession, at least to the degree of what you wish to sign on as if you are really going to do so, and find out more about yourself. that's my recommendation. -
hmmm.. good tip i will think abt that thanks alot
-
and another thing wuming78 are u in the army and did u sign on or not?
or are u just in the reservist ? and do u know ppl who sign on in the army?
How long is the Term Of Engagement and the Military Law? -

1st of all, the SAF-ITE Sponsorship Scheme is good for those who come from low income family as SAF will sponsor u your ITE education, plus giving u a monthly allowance.
but u must have the correct mindset too, don't be misled by the free education and monthly allowance. think 1st about what the army career can do for u. what vocation are u interested in sign on as? as a combat specialist or a service type. (but since u said u don't like dest job then i think combat is the better choice.)
remember, there's no room for regrets after u sign on. think carefully. signing on for the money is 1 factor, but the army experience should be the 1st factor to consider.
the army needs motivated 'garang' soldiers, not not those who sign on only for money... -
i think we need some who sign on for money, so that they will leave at the end of the contract and the siao on soldiers can progressOriginally posted by Gordonator:the army needs motivated 'garang' soldiers, not not those who sign on only for money...

Gordonator are u serving NSF or u already sign on?
I am motivated and i like scolding people wif the F*** words and all but

quite a lot i think..Originally posted by SerialBox:Just Curious How many ppl sign on in army?
it's up to u to choose loh! be it army, air-force or navy. but it also depends on the eduction level u have. for army, there are many formation u can sign on as: infantry, combat engineers, armour, guards etc etc.Originally posted by SerialBox:if sign on also do wad ar? what kind of work will the guys who sign on do?
if u are really interested, army is the 1 for u. as a combat specialist.

i think you should relook your prospects. -

Hey ur signing on? what is ur vocation and rank and are in combat or wad?
and can u tell me when u sign on what is the work in the army actually? -
now i'm only a CPL as a RP...Originally posted by SerialBox:Hey ur signing on? what is ur vocation and rank and are in combat or wad?
and can u tell me when u sign on what is the work in the army actually?
really hard to explain what army people do... put it in layman terms it's basically about leadership and taking responsibilities...
or if u don't wanna take responsibilities as a specialist, u can also sign on as a man. but sign on as man cannot get rank higher than CPL. sad. -
i think im not talking the SAF-ITE Sponsorship Scheme because of the money but i think im gona go through ns first then see whats going on the make up my mind if i wana sign on
-
great to hear that.
good luck, all the best! -
i hope those are not THE only reasons why you think you want to sign on.Originally posted by SerialBox:I am motivated and i like scolding people wif the F*** words and all but

and there is NO such guarantee. you will have to earn your right to the course.
