How much will i get as the years go by ?
Seriously, you are ought to think thrice now...
As mentioned from others, from your posts, we can see
that you are only focus on 2 things: Salary & the
"prestige" (the so-called).
The uniform where almost all guys have them in their
store room use them for their reservist ICTs. So where the
exclusiveness?
To sign on, if you doesn't have the passion and pride to
serve the country, then over time, you will lose job
satisfaction. Therefore, if you want to quit while on the
Regular contract, you are considered to break the contractual bond,
so you have to pay back the compensation. If you don't have the
money to pay back, then you have to serve the minimum term
of engagement (MTE) period of 5 years to be even
considered to have done the 2 years of NS (Full-time).

As with many militaries, there exists numerous rivalries
such as officer/non-officer, combat/logistics divides,
Army/Navy/Air Force.[citation needed]
Fortunately, because the members of the SAF are thoroughly
integrated into society at large, there are no major
military/civilian issues.[citation needed]
Apart from such minor divisions, a more important dichotomy is
observed between officers who are polytechnic or local university
graduates (Farmers), and former scholarship
holders who studied overseas (Scholars). This
phenomenon exists because of fast-tracked careers, quick
promotions, a dual-track career in the Civil Service after
mandatory retirement offered as enticement for young men to take up
SAF scholarships.[2]
While this state of affairs has existed since the Singapore
government started giving out scholarships, the issue was mentioned
in Parliament for the first time in a
speech decrying the class-consciousness and social stratification
resulting from the existing policies.[3]
