First thing you need to do is to upgrade yourself to at least PES B. Inorder to cross over to OCS. It is quite tough for a spec to cross over to OCS unless he/she shows excellent leadership quality and peer apprasier. How ever, dun let down by these issues. There are opportunities for you to enter OCS by other means, pull connections, strings etc, if you really intend to sign on.

cpl if salary above 8k, they won't call back. for key appointment holders, like OC, the salary cap is much higher, but if very high, they also won't call back.
where is your source?

Farmers vs. Scholars
As with many militaries, there exists numerous rivalries such as officer/non-officer, combat/logistics divides, Army/Navy/Air Force. Fortunately, because the members of the SAF are thoroughly integrated into society at large, there are no major military/civilian issues.
Apart from such minor divisions, a more important dichotomy is observed between officers who are polytechnic or local university graduates (Farmers), and former scholarship holders who studied overseas (Scholars). This phenomenon exists because of fast-tracked careers, quick promotions, a dual-track career in the Civil Service after mandatory retirement offered as enticement for young men to take up SAF scholarships. While this state of affairs has existed since the Singapore government started giving out scholarships, the issue was mentioned in Parliament for the first time in a speech decrying the class-consciousness and social stratification resulting from the existing policies

You need just two fingers to sign on but you need a whole lot of thinking before you do that cuz soldiering life is not for everyone.So don't kid yourself .
sign-on = no hot OLs
no sign-on = plenty of OLs
