@wannabecapt:
im guessing the training bond is 5-7 years? and they deduct the amount from the salary scale until the full amount is settled?
*ponders*
and, as for the screening, having spoken to Capt. Opere, the computer system apparently screens the applications against the minimum requirements. This was his response when i asked about what could've happened to my previous application, and why i may not have been called for an interview. He also suggested that minor mistakes in applications may have led to my application not being shortlisted..though, i cant be totally sure on this..
