How much does a Lt. Colnel in the SAF earns every month?

[Balls2U]

Always see this ya ya papaya Lt Col staying at my parents' block coming back from work in smart No. 4. Last nite, I saw him parking his Honda Jazz in the carpark lot. Shouldn't a senior officer be staying in a condo instead of a 4 room flat and driving a bigger car?

i know a LTC, my age, from artillery unit is drawing 10k+ per month. :o

 

[Narong Wongwan]

A farmer LTC with some seniority can hit $10k today.
A high flying scholar earns double that in excess of $200k per year.
Mind you a U grad with good degree now starts off with $5k basic salary as a LTA.
Your neighbour maybe a finiancial prudent chap.

$10k can buy much now in expensive sinkieland.
If sole breadwinner with 1-2 kids then $10k is just bare minimum for humble hdb heartland lifestyle with budget yearly family holidays and a jap family car.

Their salaries are insane.....during my ns time I know many sergeants and staff sergeants barely earning 2k plus after sacrificing 10 years of their lives..... This guy joins saf for 2 years earns 10k a month gets promoted to ltc and even talks about quitting the military and going back to the private sector.

Rank pay is just a basic component.

The high fliers and key appointment holders get superscale pay which goes way beyond that.

At Mindef, the MAJ and LTC are as numerous as corporals and sergeants in an ordinary camp. What sets them apart is the appointments they hold, if any.

Oh, and the canteen breaks are numerous and long at Mindef. Your taxpayer dollars hard at work, keeping you safe.

Liddat, just in case he doesn't make it to General or gets a cosy appointment at a GLC, he got more for retirement mah........................

Scholars are known as $68-million men. That's how much they cost taxpayers at the minimum.

The cost much more.....
Their super scale salaries.....not to mention the harm and hardship they be doing to us with their money extracting policies.

Also depends on what vocation u are,,if one is a LTC Pilot,,,be it chopper of fighter etc,,will definitely earn much more than a COL infantry officer,,,

Maybe he only a local appointed LTC reservist. CMI as regular and only a uses car saleman which explain the jazz. My reservist hq coy OC only a taxi driver, last official rank only LTA after 12 years in saf. Reservist he local promote to cpt.

How much can they get from the appointment pay? 50 percent of basic or 2X basic?

If a LTC driving a Honda Jazz can be a wage discussion topic; I don't know what to say about a hakka naval COL driving a Chery QQ.
