As an NSF,
you will be given a starting monthly NS allowance of $480.
It will be credited to your bank account as stated in the
pre-enlistment documentation.
Your monthly NS allowance will progress with your rank as
follows:
Rank Allowance REC/PTE $480 LCP
$500 CPL $550 SCT $570 CFC $590 3SG $800 2SG $900 OCT $760 2LT $1000 LTA $1180
Wah...quite a lot these days.... during my time, recruits'
allowance was only $135. I was drawing around $800 per month
(plus additional CPF) before enlistment and pay was reduced to just
16.8% of pre-enlistment salary which already was lower than others
because of shorter duration anticipation (told them enlisting in
army soon).
Those days chicken rice $1.50-$2 per plate....now $3 per
plate.
Anyone has any data about
vocational allowance?
