Myanmar as an emerging military power

[shuntmaster]

Looks like Burma military can seriously kick some Bangladeshi ***.

the salary of Myanmar's 2nd lieutenant = 200 US$ ++ I'm not sure about that of other ranks.. the salary of MM's are too low compared with other ASEAN countries due to MM's economic condition.. hopefully will be increased within this decades...

200 USD per month is more than double than Myanmar income per capita (refer to wikipedia).
Military officer should be a dream job for Myanmar teenager, so TOP 1% of Myanmar smartest kids will apply to military academy.

Wow. Myanmar military looks quite decent. Never knew they were this advanced (though most of their equipments still comes mainly from china and Russia). Seems phillipines is the only ASEAN country with an obselete military. They really need to buckle up man.

eeh if they would of became a U.S state they wouldn't be in such dire straits
but I'm glad they didn't

no.. bro.. there are another better jobs in Myanmar.. it may be 2nd or 3rd option... even one of MM's famous KBZ bank's cleaner can earn about US$ 150 per month.. but MM cant creat the jobs for people in current economic condition..

Myanmar should always maintain that edge over Bdesh. A shock and awe capability vs Bdesh must be expanded.
Hope your sanctions are eased off for the same.

A girl in a tea shop, probably the lowest rung, can earn about $40 a month. A construction worker can earn about $150 a month. In Yangon, a graduate can earn about $300 to $400 straight out of uni. $500 - $600 if they studied abroad. About the latter if in finance. If you have finance experience abroad, because of the demand right now, equivalent finance sector jobs pay close to parity with Singapore. The top 1% of grads all try to become doctors because that gives the best chance of going abroad and earning the big salaries - a well worn path.

DSA intakes are probably in the top 10% mainly from the countryside. The salary is not what they go for, $200 is not all that much. The army was the best way to make business contacts and involve oneself in corruption, but this paradigm is changing.

Rest in peace those bangladeshi members who portraited Myanmmar Armed forces as a bunch of commies with obsolate equipment & training & branded them as pushovers. I remember one such member moking myanmmar army soldiers by saying they wears sleepers to battlefield. Really check boys.
