What rank is it any way? But I guess nobody will complaint if they can get more money.

ST -

The new Specialist Cadet (SCT) rank, which comes with a revised National Service (NS) allowance of $490, came into effect on 22 December. The rank was introduced to recognise the challenging roles and increased responsibilities of the Specialists Corps in the 3rd Generation SAF.

TedMosby SG

Its only for SISPEC trainee, CFC will remain as it is for the other unit.

ayiah, OCT are second lowest scum

with this rank, the specialists will take that slot and OCT will push up to third lowest

martin_lim85 SG

cut cost on making ranks?

Man!x SG

so the CPL rank is no longer given after BSLC?

baikachuchu SG

I guess service specialists will still go through the traditional pte->cpl->3sg route.

Gordonator SG

BrUtUs SG

I thought OCT are the lowest, and REC being the second lowest? I've seen LCP shouting at and pumping OCT but no LCP does that to REC.

So where in the rank heirarchy is SCT? Logic tells me that SCT will now be the lowest, followed by OCT and so on, but I could be wrong?

Once a guy pass out from BMT, and goes on to become a men, this SCT rank will have nothing to do with him.

But if a guy goes on to SISPEC after passing out from BMT, then he becomes a SCT.

i don't understand how a new cadet rank will motivate the soldier. but the new revised allownance certianly will.

anyway i'm wondering is it Ok for a cadet to get more allowance than a fully trained CPL?
