Originally posted by StRiKeMaN:I Was Thinking Of Singing On too. But 1 Thing i Afraid Is Dat Wat If I Cant Cope Da Job? I Did Try To My Best Remove Dat Kind Of Thinking Out Of Ma Head. Me nOw In Nitec ActuaLLy. U Think I Can Sign During Higher Nitec? I Wanna FulFill My Amibiton In Army Career Ever Since When I was Small.
i understand exactly how StRiKeMaN feels like. sometimes one might has doubts about himself whether he is up to the job as a good commander. the way he handle his men: am i guiding them in the correct way? am i giving them enough welfare? have i been too fierce to them or am i too soft to them they won't listen to me? am i a f*ck-up commander to them?Originally posted by wuming78:you mentioned you were afraid you could not cope with the job, even though it is something you have been aspiring to. why is that so?
and also the tasks giving by superiors: i need to get my men to reach this standard as required. be it all get IPPT silver, all pass SOC, train them to be top-notch in foot/rifle drills. can my men do it, will i be able to train them to do it?
SAF is a human orientated working environment. it's all about human relationship apart from your professional skills. so as a commander one must be able to influence, inspire, guide and motivate his men.
but hey, we all learn from mistakes and setbacks right? afterall, failure is the mother of all sucess. that's why we must be confident about ourselves, learn from our mistakes. rome isn't built in a day. with time and practise, i believe one with surely be able to cope with the any job. good luck. follow your dreams.

do think twice about signing on,u must be really into the millitary to really enjoy your job.upon deciding that you really want to join the SAF be it the navy,army or air force,u must decide on the vocation that you want to join next.i'm an SAF regular specialist and i'm proud to be one.i enjoy every moment of it.
piece of advice though,it's no easy job and one must be discipline and the SAF is no longer and iron rice bowl.
i yet to regret my decision and i'm earning good money compared to my peers who are still taking pocket money from their parents.pretty cool to have your very first car at the age of 21

dont sign lah. u donno watever shit u will kena from them....
whether is officer / wose.. u still take all the shit.
wan to sign... make sure u are a scholar... if not.. dont bother. u will always be bullied by others...
if u are a oversea scholar, yes. u might take rubbish at the begining of ur career path. but not as bad as ur fellow peers. why? becos u are a oversea scholar. those old senior officer might need ur help next time... cos u will see urself the same rank with them soon. to some whom doesnt noe, oversea scholar can actually get his cpt rank at the age of 24. -
Can i know what type of interview question they will ask? And what is behind the interview technique? second do you know what is behind those question they were asking one of them to see if you mentality prepare

anyone know the percentage of getting second contract in army?
20%? -
Don't sign on unless you want to be an Officer.
As a specialist, the officer will always be riding on your back
even when you reach senior warrent or something.. the truth is you will always be a 2nd in command... something like foreman head.
Even as an Officer.. make sure you get a degree if not study part time... keep studying until Master.
or else you would suffer too.. as an Officer you need education to fly high. -
Thinking of signing on, but i wanna pursue my degree. So how to sign on ah? Can sign on, and still study at the same time?
Or do i have to serve my n.s. first, go study, then come back and sign on?
Cos the Uni i wanna go to is in Aussie.
Btw, i have a diploma. -

But need good Diploma results, and my results are only average. Moreover, think it's a MUST to be an officer, what if i don't qualify.Originally posted by wuming78:you can always go for LSA or ATA
Couldn't find any info on ATA though.. -
if you are earmarked for LSa, MTA or ATA... you are already earmarked for OCSOriginally posted by blunt_knife:But need good Diploma results, and my results are only average. Moreover, think it's a MUST to be an officer, what if i don't qualify.

I was offered a classified sign-on related to my diploma (IT)
It's to do with computers and stuffs and it's a 10-year bond.
Any technical specialists to share on their experiences and whether it's worth it?
How's work life as a tech spec and does it offer good future job prospects?
Would you recommend signing on? -
erm ... i am a poly student studying engineering informatics ( mainly IT )
i would like to know more about signing on ... how high is the percentage of getting my sign on vocations choice ? saw the last post ; he was offered a 10 years bond as a tech specilist .. thot the minium term of engaement was only 5 years ? Can i sign on during anytime if the year or i have to wait for i certain period ? help please ... -
10 years bond? I don't think so...
It's a 10 years career (Premium Plan Stage 1) offer to be precise. The 5 years Minimum Term of Engagement is meant for those guys who have not serve their National Service Full-time.
Bond is for those guys who take up the Joint Polytechnic SAF Diploma Scheme which it should be a period of 4 years. I believe the bond and MTE commerce concurrently once you graduate from Polys and enlisted. -
ham string can sign on?

it depends on whether the injury affects your pes status. if you get permanently downgraded for it, then im afraid not. but if not, then you have the chance to.Originally posted by jerry82:ham string can sign on? -
i can run & squat with out painOriginally posted by wuming78:it depends on whether the injury affects your pes status. if you get permanently downgraded for it, then im afraid not. but if not, then you have the chance to.
only doing sit & reach thing it cost pain
how long it take to recover? -
you should see a doctor, or even a specialist, regarding your condition. but from what i understand, unless you tore your muscle, a stretched hamstring is not a permanent condition, and you should be able to recover in time. you should avoid over-exerting it in the meantime, while keeping to mild stretching regimes. in any case, there is no sit and reach in IPPT. but i think standing broad jump would require hamstring exertion too.Originally posted by jerry82:i can run & squat with out pain
