Recently saw my neighbour wear his ME4-2 uniform back home, after parking his shiny new Mercedes A180. Quite young in his early 30s, wondering how much they earning.

I regret no sign on sia

Ya the saf pays very well.
They usually can be quite selective.
Because of the pay and benefits, and considered iron rice bowl lots of ppl wanna apply.

Essentially the cream de la creme goes to pte sector
The tier 2 zai kai go to saf.
Defence cannot play play. Must take some peeps with some substance

Any thing below, saf reject.

A close relative of mine has worked in Air Force (engineer role) for 35 years and is currently still active. ME4 rank. Started out with O levels and signed on in NS. Will respond to legit questions only, just quote this message.

1. Heard that there is lump sum payout at 3 stages.
Age 30 = 12 mths bonus
Age 40 = 8 mths bonus
Age 60 = 8 mths bonus

This bonus is on top of the AWS and PB.
With so much money, plus his future is secured with CPF, is your relative happy?

2. Your relative got ever think of going out to work, and if yes, does he think he can survive?

1) These bonuses are relatively new and I don't think he benefited from the age 30 and 40 ones (and its kinda rude to ask directly if he got it). As for happiness, I think he is happy with his job, especially given his lack of qualifications. Salary is decent, nothing fancy and probably not even 5 digits (based on peers I have at ME4). But well able to support family (3 kids grad from local U) with AWS + prudent spending.

He is fine with regimental duties (parades / NDP / guard duty -> NS boys should understand), and various Air Forces squadrons have random days off during low-key periods.

2) For a period, I think so. in the past, Air Force bled people to the private sector (airports / selatar etc). Then, they started bumping up pay to match and I think the thought of leaving went away. Especially because his English proficiency is bad (he prefers hokkien / Chinese), he prob won't be able to survive in private sector. Military sergeant majors, esp the old school ones, generally are his peers so its much easier for work comms.

Anyways I'm bothering to write these because I know the job market is bad, so hope this helps anyone who is considering Air Force career! also cuz my relative wants me to help low-key promote airforce haha
