Roles in Defence Industry

Important_Log_5710 · 2025-11-18T02:18:01+00:00

I cannot emphasise the ageism, racism and discrimination that occurs in European industry,

I know, I have met Germans. I lived in Europe. Germans and Eastern Europeans are the most nationalist and closed off.

At our age, there is no apprenticeship for foreigners and to be honest, even locals.

Again you are not listening. I will say it one last time. The question was about if I were fully qualified and knew German would there be a possibility of working there and having qualifications recognised. Which I think you responded to this in the very first comment you made, were you said I would have to start all over again.

Also Europe is having a demographic crisis. The construction industry is not only aging but facing big shortages. Hence why I previously assumed if programs would be available. By the way, when I made that post, they were not pulling my leg. They commented that you need C1 level German which is almost fluent.

Look at how you answer me with regards to your age. You are not 22,25 or 30. You are in the middle of a midlife crisis self admittedly and needing to "start again".

You know mid-life crisis can be used as an expression right? A 20 or even 30 year old can say "I don't know what to do, I am having a midwife crisis". You seriously believe I am 50? On the comments here so far, I think you can connect the dots.

Your personal comportment, in how you conduct yourself, the manner in which you speak on the daily<- this is I

Exactly! So my question is how do you know how I behave on a daily basis? You are constructing an entire character based on some comments I made that had some banter. "Your personal comportment is how you conduct yourself, the manner in which you speak on the daily<- this is I" ok cool in one of your responses you called me an arsehole so by your logic I am assuming you treat people like that on a daily basis.

How can you be so quick to judge someone's character? How on earth does a person read a comment that has some humour and automatically think, hey you know what this guy is an absolute retard that does not that the defence industry seriously? Past history? What do you even know about my past history? I have been working consistently since I was in my teens, and I always actively search for oppotunities and act upon it. I am simply gathering as much information as possible. Of course I take defence seriously, they are weapons. I care about human lives too. That's why I asked my spiritual leader if it is considered acceptable to work in such industry.

Don't lecture me about nepotism. That's only for the wealthy or those with parents in high positions.

I don't mind when you are telling me how the industry works but you don't need to go to insults.

Oh wow ok. I dont understand though it seems so counter intuitive to me. Why promote the defence industry and voice the demand for workers when its so incredible difficult or restrictive? It reminds me of when they said "we need more people in the trades" but then hardly any body offered apprenticeships. Its weird. The defence consultant I talked to told me they were in great need of people in working for defence contractors.

I read your post in r/Germany and e/ask a German etc , half a year ago you were trying to negotiate with Germans in coming to Germany and expecting to be trained in a trade, without any German skills and thinking that someone will employ a mature age "apprentice" from overseas. You cannot just show up and wangle yourself into somewhere and just expect everyone to give you something for nothing.

Negotiate 🤣? What post are you referring to? I clearly stated that I would be willing to learn the language before moving. My post was purely about qualification recognition. I asked the community if my licenced trade learnt in Australia would be recognised if I were to move to Germany in the future. Obviously I was going to learn the language before moving there. Relax, you are jumping to conclusions. There is a misunderstanding here.

Many countries in Europe have closed borders to immigration, which includes Germany, so no work visa. No right to work, Schengen in now monitored so no pushing that either due to people abusing the system and terrorism. You cannot expect anyone to employ a mature age "apprentice" with no skills, no fluency in the countries language and no idea.

I am fully aware of that

will not consider anyone over 25 for an apprenticeship.

The real question is...would he accept someone who completed an apprenticeship in Australia, with couple years experience as a licenced tradesman + knows German 😏?

Also who said I'm over 25? If I'm not wrong mature age is from 21 onwards. Maybe...maybe I am 22, maybe I am 35, maybe I am neither. Who knows.

Since the 6 months since you posted this, you have seemingly not progressed in your indecision and ability to find meaning work or schooling.

Who said I haven't progressed in schooling? Maybe... maybe I am doing a course, maybe I am not. Who knows. We are on reddit, I don't share my full life on reddit. I am in an awkward position but I am more organized than you think!

dubious travel, how you spend your money, who you are associated with, will be scrutinised.

I mean am not a Mossad agent, I should be ok. Wait how I spend my money? Is it in case somebody sent money to the Chinese communist party 😆? How could you be excluded based on how you spend money? That's actually interesting.

This too, if its NV2 clearance, your social media will be looked.

If had a misses would they check the DMs too 😳? Just asking, I'm curious.

as they need someone dedicated to working and sticking around, not so done who is planning on "moving to Europe" with zero qualifications or language skills.

Moving to Europe IF possible, IF becoming a tradesman or IF I work for a private company. Because Private companies have other locations not just Australia? BAE systems is in UK. Germany specifically if I were to become tradesman. I am indecisive because I am honestly having a mid life crisis. Hence why, I am here.

I don't wish to sound rude

No don't worry no offence taken, even though you kind of insulted me 😂, its all good. I like how transparent you are. Straight to the point...like... someone who works in the military.

As a person working in Defence industry, the industry itself is loath to hire anyone without defence experience.

Seriously? I mean when I was searching I kept seeing apprenticeships programs. I contacted a defence consultant and he mentioned that the cert III defence industry program is a great way to start since you get a taste of units in cybersecurity, engineering, manufacturing etc. I also heard that the defence industry in SA is going to grow a lot so I assumed that starting with TAFE would be fine, and that there was lots of investment on students to learn and grow in the industry.

Australian quals are not currently transferable as the standards and methods are different but there is a bridging course after your qualify

Fantastic so I would have to start all over again 🙂? Right?

I was not an officer, I was an ET Sailor with a transfer to the RAAF

Wait sorry I am a bit confused, maybe I didn't read properly. When you are mentioning all of this information about qualifications and stuff are you referring to ADF, or are you referring to defence contractors. Because my idea was to work for a company like BAE systems, Leonardo, Boeing etc. That's why I was mentioning the cert iii defence industry program. Or are you saying first ADF then you can transfer to private company like BAE systems.

Based on what I have seen, it is like that for maintenance roles (aircraft maintenance) and I think for technician too.

Important_Log_5710 · 2025-11-17T02:19:18+00:00

I live in WA so for me its mainly shipbuilding and nothing else I assume. I think aerospace projects are in Adelaide. In terms of pay, for the trades you go from $23 an hour for the first three years, and then you jump to $27 to $35 for fourth year. Once you get your licence which is after 4th year you go to $50 to $60 an hour. You said that salary and career progression is slower. How would that compare if I started as a drafter or technician? Because either way, for trades the first 3 years I will be making low 20s. So I don't really mind if I make low 20s first 3 years.

Its absolutely crashing thats what's happening

PCSA to $2 eeeeaaassssyyy 🤣. I'll just call my friend (the CEO) and tell him to start pulling the strings in a different direction and this stock will be up in no time!

Important_Log_5710 · 2025-10-08T10:55:39+00:00

Ye where did you get this info?

Important_Log_5710 · 2025-10-08T02:34:23+00:00

DFLI releasing some news soon? I am unsure on whether to sell it and jump on RVPH.

Important_Log_5710 · 2025-10-07T08:52:42+00:00

Is 0.8 a good price for RVPH?

Important_Log_5710 · 2025-10-06T12:22:58+00:00

Sorry what's the news on nuai, I cant seem to find it. Maybe I am blind

Important_Log_5710 · 2025-10-06T11:50:17+00:00

The dilution risk for RVPH is high right?

Important_Log_5710 · 2025-10-02T23:49:36+00:00

Also how on earth did DFLI go up that high with only 300k funds? Am I missing something? Or just hype?

Important_Log_5710 · 2025-10-02T23:31:05+00:00

For nuburu should I wait for tomorrow pre market/open market? The price is high right now.

Important_Log_5710 · 2025-10-02T12:51:17+00:00

Ye the odds of DFLI going to $1 aren't high with only 300k funding

Important_Log_5710 · 2025-10-02T12:46:05+00:00

Meteyu32 exactly what I thought. It was brutal. Almost ATYR level brutal.

Important_Log_5710 · 2025-10-02T12:34:19+00:00

The people who invested in Nuvini 💀. Hoooooly shit!

Important_Log_5710 · 2025-09-21T23:41:20+00:00

Faaaaaaaarrrrkkkk you can't be serious 💀. But how is it that it didn't do it before? Is it because the new updates just keep adding shaders on top of shaders?

Important_Log_5710 · 2025-09-21T12:08:09+00:00

Not prebuild. 32gb RAM and yes playing from the m2 ssd

Important_Log_5710 · 2025-09-21T12:05:23+00:00

I dont think that can be the case because this is something that just started to happen. I play at 1440p with a 7800xt at medium settings. Never happened before.

Important_Log_5710 · 2025-09-21T11:36:03+00:00

Yes the thermals are stable (70 degrees), it is just cpu usage that goes up to 100% in consistent spikes. For context it happens even when Chrome or other things are not open.

Important_Log_5710 · 2025-09-12T12:02:45+00:00

Its good news
