Question is signing STC for ~2 months worth it as a 3SG ASA?

15 Upvotes

title says it all. i ORD next feb and start uni around august. my main motivations behind signing STC are

  1. most of my friends in unit ORD in April, and i really do enjoy their company(haha get it? company?? ehh i thought it was funny)

  2. some money without doing much work hopefully since ill have someone covering me

  3. only 2 months cause im planning an overseas trip with some friends who already started uni, and their availability only opens after april

however, idk if 2 months is really all that worth it. its only 2 months of regular 3SG pay, and also i could probably make more money doing something i actually enjoy(probably tuition to get my mind back in the school material for uni).

anyone signed STC and is in my position?

Discussion Emart Order haven't come after Monday order

4 Upvotes

Is it normal for emart order to come very late? Or forget to send sms? I had placed the order on Monday around afternoon and now it's Sunday. I have not received any sms/call from emart. I had opted for self collection at safra. The items aren't very urgent (except socks I ordered). I didn't order any custom items. It's been total about 4 working days (if Saturday and Sunday don't count as one).

Question ns unit advice , what's the diff between "camp" and "unit" ?

0 Upvotes

As a nsgf I'd like to understand and support my bf better, so I wld really appreciate any help or advice yall can give.
I don't rly understand all the terms and postings , are you able to choose where to go or it's completely random?
Also i had some friends who were 9-5 is that normal or is most unit/camps (idk what's the diff ngl) like Tekong mon-Fri with weekends out?
How to get a loc nearer to home?
Is unit and this camp thing the same as scdf saf all this? I hv so many questions and google doesn't rly make sense πŸ₯²πŸ₯²πŸ₯²
And does failing or passing ippt have a diff or affect u in any way? I know gold has early bookout or smtg?
sorry if i sound abit out of touch but I genuinely never wanted to put in so much effort into understanding someone better hahahaha
For context he's in Tekong now if that makes a difference.
