Well, once a regular told me, do you seriously think those
higher-up is working for the country? Do you think they will
continue to work in army if the government were to pay them
peanuts?
So same questions for you? What do you think? For the country or
the money?
BTW, don't bother signing on if you are not PES B at least or
are not planning to get a degree, you won't be able to go far.
If you don't like to study, or stupid, or lazy, no talent,
society's pest, it's considered good pay. Applies to WOSE.
Commissioned officer different story, is, if you are stupid but
you think you are smart, you are the worst but you think you are
the best.
If you want to climb ranks in the army you only need -
connections and balls carrying and also a bit of luck. Brains and
talent doesn't apply in army.
Also have you served army? If you have not, get a taste first
before thinking whether want to sign bond.
You do need some brain if you want to climb up the ranks in
army. Even army now need you to have a degree ay least to be able
to climb up to certain ranks.
If you are trying to climb the ranks of comissioned officer,
well, you will need to go through OCS first. This is why I said you
will need to be at least PES B.
What I said above is the requirements for the current new MDES
career scheme. I think the non-MDES career scheme should work about
the same way.
You still liable to get extras/confinements/DB/etc for mistakes
you made and getting your weekends/hoildays burned due to duties
just like NSF even though you are a regular. Then again, it's an
iron rice bowl if you do not commit any serious mistakes.
Trolol's right. Before you decides to sign on, get a taste of
how's army life like and ask yourself "Do you like wearing green?".
Signing on is probably not for you if your answer is 'No'.
