Well I applied for an apprenticeship in the navy as an electrical technician (Fixing weapon systems, Radar systems etc.). I had the aptitude test yesterday and I got a list of job opportunities. Well I wasn't going to join because I am in a residential draftsman course full time next year, But after yesterday it has changed my mind a little. The navy would be wicked fun (traveling) and I would be earning a fair bit of money. The hard thing is leaving all my family and friends. Also, If anyone is in the Navy and knows a bit about recruitment could you please shoot me a PM.
Cheers.

If you have been considering have a read.

:rofl: Yes, because it is so hard nowadays...


OP, you won't be earning that good money, in fact defence wages are crap. If you are joining for money, you are joining for the wrong reasons.

I was being sarcastic, kapooka is a walk in the park nowadays, needs to go back to old days of hardcore where you got beaten, slapped, kicked, spat on etc. That **** rebuilt heads. From meeting a few new lids when i was last at my old unit, I have to say kapooka/Singo training courses are a joke. Many old friends have left simply due to not being able to rely on new gen soldiers. Fairly scary thoughts right there.
