A gal interested in joining the sinagpore army.

I am currently living in Australia. But orginally a singaporean born holding a singaporean citizen. I have been studying in IT field. And have completed a certificate IV in IT and also a Dual Diploma in Website Design/ Internetworking in one of the local universities in Melbourne.

me personally saw in the one of the units ah. some frens from signals also related to me their drooling stories.Originally posted by dibilo: are you sure?? 2 years in SI, how come i nv see any......
me was personally smitten by the S1 for 3 sig back in '03. dunno if she's still there. she's one of the cutest girl i've ever seen loh..
she had a porcelain complexion and the most delicate facial features. although not very tall, she had a way of carrying herself that..... ahhhh..... just cannot describe the feeling. even my S3 commented that this girl got style. -
If you have the ppl's skills, leadership qualities, planning skills then doing SAF job is not a problem.
But if you want to apply what you have learned technically, then SAF is not where you want to be in. Maybe you may consider DXOs in a specific field. -

yes!Originally posted by Ponnu_Gal:Okie thanx alot of the information. But just wanted to know with the qualifications i have do i have a chance in gettin in. -
haha..i am no regular but i'm a nsf signaller as of now. Seeing your credits, i doubt there's truely a proper vocation in the combat support side to make full use of your talents. Maybe in MINDEF where there is a more "office" type of work?Originally posted by Ponnu_Gal:I am currently living in Australia. But orginally a singaporean born holding a singaporean citizen.

What i am doing now is combat support in outfield exercises. I am in the CCIS (Command and Control Information Systems) platoon. What we do is to deploy laptops and supercomputers for major brigade or division exercises. I do network troubleshooting or server manning.
Seriously after i've been at it for quite sometime, i think a commercial company would be able to offer you more relevant experiences and opportunities. It would be better if you can try to get some kind of IT related job in MINDEF instead. I don't really recommend signing on as a signal spec unless it is your passion to have a career in the army.
Personally, i think you might have a higher chance of getting better job prospects and job experience working in the private sector instead. Also, signing on the army means you are contracted with SAF for a long time. If you happen to find any better jobs meanwhile you will regret that you signed on earlier. Just something for you to regurgitate on and think about. ^_^ -

no reason why you can't apply to be in the Army.
do you want to be a Specialist or an Officer?
anyway, just to "forewarn" you, they are abit edgy on people who have lived overseas for sometime... -
sorry ah, sidetrack from main topic abit.Originally posted by dibilo:CPT meng xia ???
dunno what's her name. i only saw her a few times. about 1.53m, very slim. she was an LTA back then.
damn i almost had a chance to sing KTV duet with her, but the ah beng 3 sig S3 snatched the mic before i could get to it. -

Seriously....if you have the qualification and the nerves of steel....why not? -
Please think it through.Your qualifications are not that military-oriented and they would be better utilised in the private sector.If army is your passion, then the certs would be moot.So yeah, please think it through.The contract is 10 years.Not something to sneeze at.

Unless u are talking about contract service...? Hmmm I know of some DXOs who just sign on for a few years one....but mostly are Finance Supervisors etc...
