last SG · 2006-07-30T14:42:04+00:00

Go get an overseas job. Very likely that they will not call u back.

Manager433 SG

Reduction of NS. My own views:

13 yrs cut down to 10 yrs, just imagine how much Mindef can save on $$$ for

1)MUP ( make up pay ).

2)Ippt awards claim ( if every NSmen achieve S$100).

3)Emart purchase by NSmen.

4)FFI for NSmen age 35 and above. These days medical checkup not cheap wor.

5)NSmen no longer can chiong sua faster at the age of 35. Mr. Green

6)More $$$ needed for purchasing of new weapons and maintenaning them.

Please add on......

Yeap. By reducing SAF will save abt 13million annually... or is tat 32?.. hmm .. im mixed up with the number.. but the amount is huge!

Gordonator SG

ah ya that's actually something they though up to coverup for the truth, which is to save money as mentioned earlier. Laughing

BrUtUs SG

It's pretty hard to escape reservist unless you are downgraded to Pes E/F. Laughing

Ponders SG

There is no official cap on the pay to which they will not call you back.

Usually NS Brigade/Battalions are given a budget and from this budget the Unit will see who they should call back to maximise the effectiveness of the Reservist exercise.

I got this info from a NS Unit Chief Clerk.

But I have known established lawyers earning mid-5 figures (40,000-60,000) montly still being called back to do reservist duty as a clerk.

I-like-flings(m) SG

huh?? 45 meh?? dun scared mi leh!!! Crying or Very sad

boltstorm SG

looks like there is no escaping…oh well

nismoS132 SG

yeah, i remember my friend mentioned to me too some high level executive from singtel going back to do reservist. he was even allowed to bring his laptop in to continue doing his work, supposedly working on some multi-million proposal at the time.

mhcampboy SG

shld be laa... i think that is the NS cut of age. after that no need to serve reservist anymore...

so if u wanna escape... wait till 45 then come back ok.. Laughing

I-like-flings(m) SG

not 40 meh? dun pray pray leh...anyone can confirm? Mr. Green

mhcampboy SG

40 ar?.. hmm ok lor... maybe 40. wait i check with my fren..

mhcampboy SG

ok. just checked with my fren. 40 for woses. 50 for officers...

hehhe my bad. Laughing

tt3 SG

heard stock broker wont get call bac…

Eikei SG

So we just need to hope everybody in our reservist unit earns tons of money so the battalion will have to choose...

NDU SG

i think, sometime what unit you belong also play a part.
for me, i saw ppl who made very high pay also have to come back lah Mr. Green

LazerLordz SG

If your vocation is classified or rare, chances are that you will be recalled no matter what pay scale you enjoy.

Manager433 SG

Correct but I think latest changes- Once u completed ur 10 yrs ICT, no more reservist for u liao. That include no more recall manning, no more IPPT. Provided u collect ur C.O.A and ur M.R certificate.

subarugal SG

As a ex-Chief clerk my point is:
no matter how high your salary scale maybe you are all still in recall mode. Only diffrent is they wouldn't call you in so frequently, maybe 2 or 3 ICT then they will act blur.

I do have a NSmen previously, his monthly income at about SGD 50k, he only serve 3 ICT and he had stand down when he reaches his 40s. Smile
