Is it very stupid to sign on with a degree as a commissioned officer? Not talking about specs/WOs/MEs.
Hell no, if its what you like doing by all means sign on. I'm also going to apply to the army once I grad from uni. Just don't expect a life of a banker, or having pretty office ladies working with you daily. Best of luck!
Just a question for all readers out there, if you were only a man during your 2-year stint will it greatly affect your chances of signing on under the officer scheme in the SAF?
yup, though there are certain exceptions.
if your area of interest is considered to be an expertise, the process would be slightly easier
Woah that "you cant be an officer coz u weren't an officer" rule sucks...
Just to clarify under the expertise, assuming that I was a signaller during my NSF stint, it'd be somewhat of a bonus if I apply for signals officer?
bo bao lol..
if your degree is ok for the application area, can go for senior expert.
Collin, since you are so knowledgable and since this thead is dead, let me ask you 2 qns from a heli pilot in training:
What are the chances of being posted overseas permanently (what permanent heli flying detatchments do we have overseas)?
As a 21 year old heli trainee, what are the chances of being offered a local or overseas degree scholarship? Will SAF help him enter a local uni, or must he fully qualify on own merit? How much will be paid for?

Think leh. If I am a heli trainee, why I ask about the EC-120 here? I will be flying it every day.

some desperate trainee pilots may ask their galfrends to do their homewerk for them concernin aircraft etc .
