Friend, choosing the army as a life-long career is not that
simple. Once i was also like you, damn enthu, die die wanna sign as
Guards spec. But then the lady officer who interviewed me (quite
chio i might add, captain, with airborne) said "why don't you try
the 5 year contract first, see if it suits you.." She made a point,
so i chose that instead. Now i'm goddamn glad i didn't sign up for
PP. But that's my own experience lah.
I think u must really think hard about WHY u wanna be an officer.
To be a sterling example of soldiering, to inspire your charges to
greater heights? Or just to show off your epaulettes to your
friends who will probably be serving at or around the same time as
you? Or just to get all the chicks? It's definitely not easy.. when
you spend the whole day/night doing your MAPEX or Platoon Ops
Order...don't say i didn't warn you...heh heh
Then again, you can always choose the 5 year contract, got chance
to go for many courses also, like JCC, Sniper, Ranger, can even get
the chance to be an ASEAN competitive shooter!
