Signing on Navy???

Official SG

It all depend wat you want in life. Some signed and regret. If family rich they pay up and leave. Some simply got to dig their own trench and suffer. THINK thrice x thrice b4 you sign that paper. Sign and dun regret. Hesitate then dun sign. This is wat my advise to you. Hope you enjoy life freely and abandunly.

yea thanks for your advice....i am now seriously considering after 5 weeks in army. Now i think signing on SAF might not be a good choice for me afterall Very Happy

its good to have considered first especially with actual experience of the kind of environment u may need to work in.

care to share what made u change ur mind?

BMEngineer SG

to be honest i am totally discouraged with my performance....
ippt still cannot pass after 5 weeks and i face soc with quite a lot of difficulty...
plus one more thing that regulars MUST pass ippt every year or their promotions will be halt...

wuming78 SG

u r in ptp rite? fitness takes time to build up. if tt is a major concern, i think u can still consider. however if u r quite sure u will dread the taking of ippt annually then perhaps, yah, its not the rite profession for u

BMEngineer SG

Yes i am in ptp. 1 more week to go before ptp ends. I feel that if i can train until i can pass ippt, i am sure wanna keep up with that standard...however the fact is that i still cant pass my ippt now. Maybe that is the main reason why i now feel that signing on is not for me...

aim for gold pls..not just a pass..your fitness wont budge if u aim for pass only..

Hi just wondering .. when someone is assigned to a ship for 4 years, roughly how much of that 4 years he will be away sailing? And when he comes back to Singapore/ Base, is he still working or can have time to go back home?

Hi, I am also interested in signing on as a navy officer, however my mother is an indonesian PR for a long long time. I am just wonder if this will affect my promotion or the job i do in the future if i sign as an officer because i have heard many other stories about such thing happening…

signing on with navy as a conventional sailor may be good for some and bad for some... it depends on the class of ship u are posted to and most importantly the ship u are posted to...
If u don't have a degree or can't get a LSA at least, dun sign on with the navy to be an officer... cuz u will be a farmer and u will shit jobs alot and maybe targeted...
An officer with a degree and an officer with a diploma who commits the same mistake, the diploma officer will gets screwed till v jialat... if's wat i have seen...
and lotsa shit jobs oso... i have seen a diploma officer who everytime gets crewed by his CO... and he had grew numb of all the screwing liao...
but 1 thing for sure, he will gets lotsa experience cuz he does most of the shit job...
there's a degree officer who DONT even know how to operates a CIS 50cal MG properly, dun even knows how to secure the gun and dun even knows how to tie knots and so on... but he's favoured than the diploma officer...

if u have a diploma only... it's wiser to sign on as spec if u r considering a conventioanl navy career...
