Hi everyone,

I am enlisted into the army on 11th june, but i am only graduating on end of may, very blurr of what to do...

Can anyone kindly give me advise...

Like what to do, prepare and how to make me army life better.
I am also thinking of signing on, but cannot decide...

HELP!~!

Don' sign on till you know you're really sure what you're doing! Don't make any rash decisions! Surprised

i had friends signing on and they r getting a lot of $$$...i only have a dipolma, dunnoe what to do in the future...

I dunnoe hows it is in the army also...

advise??~!

Signing on in the Army is a major career move and should not be rushed into.

Ask yourself, do you really like the Army in the first place? If u don't want to be stuck with a shit job for at least 4 years. After that if u want to enter the private sector for another job, the skills u learned before may have become irrelevant in the ever-changing economy.

Don't know if u like it? Then I suggest u use the NS time to get a taste of Army life first before u come to a decision. After all, it's 2 and a half years and u can sign on any time.

Ask your friends what its like. Yes the money's a big draw, but do you know what are the drawbacks? Last time i was a recruit at BMTC, tell u those recruitment personnel just keep psychoing how much money we will earn if sign on so and so. But nothing will change my mind loh. I've seen regulars who go thru alot of sh|t and i feel i am damn lucky.

My friend had sign on but is not in the army yet...what will we do in the army, i am thinking of becoming a signal specialist...It will not be so tough after BMT right??

Every vocation got its tough things one lah, like it or not. Even the simplest tasks can be the sh|tt|est. Paperwork is easy, but its sh|tty to some, don't you think? Rolling Eyes

Yar, i agree...but what is army life all abt? running around with a gun...I also agree tt signing on is a big thing, 1 mistake can hinder ur future greatly...
but it may be a good option as dipolma holders are finding it hard to find a job..>~!~!

anyway, how long had ur bf been in there?

I rather it be harder to find a job than to have a good-paying job and no life. No, being in the army is more than running around with a gun. You learn lots about life and even office politics. No, I'm not kidding.

Thank you...

After hearing ur words, i will start considering abt it at long term wise...
It no use to get a good pay but fuck up job...
thanks...
But do i have to prepare anything before going to BMT?

^sylvia^ SG

he's working now *joy joy* .. you can do it! haha jia you jia you Laughing
