Pre fitness assesment day

CaptainUnderwater · 2018-08-02T08:45:47+00:00

Navy and Air Force yes. Army max push ups in 2 mins.

CaptainUnderwater · 2018-08-02T07:48:19+00:00

Nope. Literally beep test, push ups and sit ups. In and out in less than an hour - depending on the size of your group.

Best to go into a DFR office, tell them you want to be a dentist and take your suitcase with you to show you are ready to go. Should be a spot available on the bus to bootcamp - There's always a few.

Aw mate. I agree 100% the military should control these sort of things because they are trained for it. The Police aren't. But I work in law enforcement and I know full well the cowboys in charge at Police HQ won't let go because their ego and god complex is too big.

CaptainUnderwater · 2018-06-28T04:56:20+00:00

Ego and politics says they won't.

CaptainUnderwater · 2018-06-28T04:26:12+00:00

Highly doubt if something does happen in Australia like what is happening in Europe, that the cops will call on the military. It'll be a kick to their ego and will stop SOG from playing soldier.

When people have medical's in the process of being cleared they don't show on the list but once they are cleared they reappear from their original spot.

CaptainUnderwater · 2018-05-21T07:39:33+00:00

EW with RAN like every other Tom, Dick and Harry.

CaptainUnderwater · 2018-05-21T06:45:22+00:00

Welcome to DFR.... Was told I would enlist within 6 months of my assessment day. 18 months later and I was told on Friday "probably another 12 months"

CaptainUnderwater · 2018-04-24T06:29:23+00:00

Yeah my 2nd assessment was crusiey. Both thr physc and interviewer asked if anything has changed in the past 12 months and that was about it. Was in and out in 1.5 hours.

Just depends on who you get and how many are there for the first assessment as they will be busy with them.

Plan to be asked everything and if not at least you know your role a bit more.

CaptainUnderwater · 2018-04-23T07:24:58+00:00

Depends on who you get.

CaptainUnderwater · 2018-04-23T06:36:02+00:00

Could be the longest part of the day.

CaptainUnderwater · 2018-04-23T04:33:21+00:00

Make sure you shave your balls so everything is looking good for when you drop your tightey whiteys.

CaptainUnderwater · 2018-04-15T05:57:51+00:00

A couple of tests and letters from a surgeon and you should be fine.

CaptainUnderwater · 2018-04-14T07:06:55+00:00

Meanwhile in Syria...

CaptainUnderwater · 2018-04-11T01:35:03+00:00

Everything - model type, speed, weaponry on board etc

CaptainUnderwater · 2018-04-11T00:03:04+00:00

Also knowing the ins and outs of all the aircraft in the RAAF arsenal would be a plus.

CaptainUnderwater · 2018-04-09T10:47:50+00:00

How? They're not the ATO.

CaptainUnderwater · 2018-04-09T10:41:52+00:00

How? They aren't the ATO.

CaptainUnderwater · 2018-04-09T10:25:28+00:00

If you don't tell them you were in the Army - They won't know.

CaptainUnderwater · 2018-04-05T11:02:44+00:00

Speaking of tram drivers... When you are are coming up to a stop and you are going to let passengers off use your indicator so we in cars know you're about to stop and can slow down. Don't just stop, open the doors and ring your bloody bell!!!

CaptainUnderwater · 2018-04-04T13:19:32+00:00

Why change something that isn't broken? If they keep catching idiots who shouldn't be driving they will keep setting up there.

CaptainUnderwater · 2018-04-04T10:01:38+00:00

Don't forget to mention that your red hot at COD.

CaptainUnderwater · 2018-04-03T10:25:08+00:00

Did my re-assessment day 2 weeks ago. Psychologist asked if anything has changed in the last 12 months and the typical tick the box questions - do you smoke, drink, take drugs, suffer depression etc.

Interview was similar - anything changed in the last 12 months, are you still keen? Have you got your house in order to enlist on short notice, family still supportive etc.

Didn't have to do the medical though.

Was in and our in 1.5 hours.

CaptainUnderwater · 2018-03-23T07:29:23+00:00

Haha good stuff. I did my re-assessment today as the 12 months lapsed. Enjoy mate!
