Hellraiza SG Last year’s was 2.2 month’s bonus…this year it’s 2.0 only. The bloody news is trying to form a smokescreen, claiming it’s more because of the Growth Bonus… i thought we already had PB? The government adding on to it is it? nnb…
Gordonator SG regulars' salaries are very high already. in fact highest among all civil servants. don't complain. some people might not be getting bonus at all.
Gordonator SG anyway, off topic a bit. is there any chance for a regular man (not spec/officer) to be promoted to CFC?
Hellraiza SG For what. I like to chiong sua. I am only not happy with the way we are treated sometimes.
KoolKool SG Regular should be looking beyond CFC, otherwise, its better not to join. I was at Career Centre, does not seem that SAF requires non-Specs, non-Officers vocation. I thought once sign up, very fast go to 3SG.
KoolKool SG It depends on what you do at your workplace. If everyday just arrow NSF, then I think it is a lot.
Fatum SG I agree ... other than 13th month, I think everything else should be PB ... why must those cho bo people be rewarded ....
superlibra SG yea yea. i feel u. my side here no NSF to arrow too. super sad. 3SG = lowest life form because its one big regular family.
Arapahoe SG Think of the non cash benefit. You eat in Camp and you dress in #4. Your shoes provided. You sit in MID. You want shopping you go to the shop use your smart card. If you are sick you see MO. U just need to pull the trigger when the time comes. OUt of a 52 weeks a year you spend only 52 weekends x 2 days outside the camp maybe even less. 1300 x 15 months = 19500 / 102 days = $191.17 cash generated for outside the camp. That is higher pay than your daily rate for most people in civilian life.
Hellraiza SG actually i feel that this whole "i'm an NSF, of course kana arrow" mentality is kinda wrong. In all armies there's a rank structure, and when orders passed down, it goes through the chain, and not whether you're a NSF or REG. Example. Orders given to your OC to get smth done for the battalion. OC says "no problem sir!" OC pass instructions to CSM. CSM arrow one of the PS. PS can also be NSF. it's all WORDS passed down the line until instructions reach the men. That's when the physical work will be done. They have no choice but to do it what. Because it's an ORDER from above, and not because of service status. Us enlisted men are the hands and legs that do the work, leave all the talking to the commanders...
red_amoeba SG I always thought that in army (and oso many gahmen dept) if you r not scholar, you henta taki after a while - your rank & pay.... and the best part is, you wanna quit but you cannot because you either on contract or you cannot switch easily to other trades in the private sector...
