For a "lesser mortal" Joining the SAF is a big mistake because there is no future. I had a friend who decided to join the air force as a technician after his "O" levels. It seemed like a good idea at the time but it was a dead end job. Eventually the SAF decided to bring in those with higher education than "O" levels. Those with 'O' levels became casualties.
There's not much demand for ex-SAF personnel in civilian life unless of course you are a scholar.
Your friend can easily find a job as an aircraft technician / engineer outside, stupid friend did not know how to use all the free training of the SAF. Why didn't he upgrade from O levels, you think with O levels outside he wouldn't have been in a dead end job and replaced by higher educated ones?
Anyone who has done NS knows that it is a cocked up organisation.
Just look at the performance of the paper generals in the GLCs.
I am so embarrassed and angry that I served in such a stupid organization. Fuck SAF! Fuck PAP!
At least you got out alive.
NS is the most dangerous time for a Sporean male. They are exposed to a dangerous environment doing dangerous things
The classmate who signed on only got played out in a dead end jobs but at least he got out alive. Had another classmate who died during BMT. Had other friends who got seriously injured that they were medical boarded.
Can't really blame those parents who want to leave Spore to avoid NS for their kids. It is strange that many don't just vote out the PAP
You classmate only O levels, lucky he signed on, or else would have been in dead end job and replaced much earlier if he were in private sector, what progression is he looking for if he did not progress himself, stop blaming the SAF.
4 glasses of beer and it's a good evening?1 more glass you would be pissed drunk.
