I dont understand. If you apply SPF before NS as a spec then you
might be accepted. You got diploma, you have to apply as a spec not
officer.
Prison officer is only for people who have ORD and served NS.
And you have to apply as a spec not officer.
Once you are a spec in NS, you NEVER jump rank to
officer.
Since you are hesitating there is a part of you, you
dont want. Once sign for a ten year contract, even if SAF ask you
to eat shit, you must eat. Unlike outside, you can
always slammed a resignation letter when you are displeased.
The benefits of the companies are better and
more opportunities to move around.
Signing on is really for people who cannot survive in the
outside world. I really thought you are those ITE, mono guys who
cannot study and only know to do physical work.
Wasn't my luck i guess. As for prisons, yeah the recruitment
officer told me to go for NS first and when i enquired about my
tattoo, he told me directly that even after ord the chances of
getting into Prisons are very slim.
I am not hesistating. I'm just unsure of what vocation to
choose. Since chances of getting into OCS are very slim too, then I
guess I'll just settle for the Warrant Officer scheme. I am totally
fine with that. Only thing is, I wish to further my studies
(degree) during the ten years. Is that possible?
Btw, don't look down on those ITE mono guys man.. they are tough
both mentally and physically. Maybe it's not their fault for not
excelling well academically. You have to understand some come from
not well-off family and have to settle for ITE instead. I'm sure
most of them who sign on will try to improve themselves
academically.
