info for service side wanted

i_heart_icecream SG

hey, anyone from service vocations? i'd like 2 know more about what ppl do in the service side for SAF, as in how's the training like, the advancement route, the everyday life etc... how different is it from DXO job? pay wise leh? got diff?

oh, and also, what the the options available for some1 who has a diploma in mass comm n is going 2 major in communication studies this aug.. i dunno why, but i'm kinda interested in working for the SAF.. the military uniform n stuff like that seem quite appealing 2 me (ok, maybe i'm a bit superficial here, but i'm one who finds the SAF appealing, yet isn't really interested in stuff that r too physical. i'm a female afterall!). Does the logistics department take in ppl like me? or do i have 2 possess a business/logistics related cert? i considered b4 airforce wso for c3, coz that seems 2 be the least physical thing... but then.... i'd still like some advice, thanks Razz

no, of course not. Cool

i'll love to give advice but i'm not that well-informed regarding signing on with the service side. lets wait to see if the rest can help.

I only know that I had a colleague who did a Mass Comm degree course part-time when she was a Tech Spec.

It did not improve her ROA(Route of Advancement). IF you want to sign on with Military Engineering or Logistics, I think it's better if you have a related diploma or degree.

This applies mainly for the former, though I'm not too sure for the latter.Regular Military Engineering Specs/Officers are usually certificate holders in related fields of Engineering or IT.
