Tommie Goh was an armour officer for 14 years and he is worth about a few hundred Million dollars, how many ex regulars can become like him? What makes him so special?

When I was 18 (back in the 90's) I wanted to raise 5K to contribute for a business and I just didn't have the cash. A friend of mine told me in a land like Singapore where cars go for a 100K a pop cash is always there just figure out how to get it. Those word sank in pretty well. Just like the guy who dropped letters into the Sentosa Cover asking for a car, its crazy but hey he tried.

Not meaning to offend but it seems that you are someone who once gets in a comfort zone would probably like to stay there. Since you are in Armour and doing okay if you're comfortable to sign on it resolves a lot of your worries. There is nothing wrong with that, people on the forum are advising you that if you want a life outside of army it would be tough, especially if your personality leans towards a comfort zone.

Think about yourself, your personality, work out your figures and decide what path you want to take. If you keep pressing for people to give you definite answers you might end up disappointed.
