The Air Force - Above All

You must be wondering why the title is abt the air force.... could it be that I signed on as an air force regular? Well, at least up till now i can tell u that its not.

Its just that there was this air force recruitment talk at engin, they're recruiting air engineering officers from mech and electrical engineers. So CX here went to have a look(ok i admit i was after the food but no harm listening also rite?). NUS engineering students would prob realise how different the air force invite was from other talks. They freaking listed the menu for the dinner buffet after the food and looking at the menu will make u hungry lah. Who can resist the likes of cheese baked scallops, shepherd's pie, pasta, tiramisu cakes and other goodies. Since there's free dinner and a USB hub to be collected, of cos its worth going to listen to what they have to say. I bet if no food was provided, probably half the number of people wouldn't be there. I think most of my frens wouldn't know abt this, but i actually signed on with the Navy during BMT as a NEO(not the saviour from matrix) Naval engineering officer. But as i didn't go to OCS after BMT, the contract was void(i went OCS after my specialist course). So i haven't heard abt what the air force have to offer before i went to the talk. From what they offer, its really good, 3.7k starting against 2.8k for private sector. But that's how they attract ppl to join the public sector, bigger fatter carrot. But in return, not only do u need to go back to such regimentation 24/7, u need to go back to OCS. If u're an officer, u skip the first 7 weeks and go on course as officer on course, if not u go back to being a cadet. How sad is that man. Being a cadet at 25 is sad man, booking in and out at OCS is even more sad. I was a trainee for 1.5 years before i ORD, dun think i would wanna go back and be trainee again.
