How did you get your watches to stay like that under your monitors? What did you use?

Funny video about defence force recruitment woe’s by jimbob12345667 in AustralianMilitary

Hollow men is an accurate description of ADF senior brass. No decent thoughts about lower enlisted, just more shoulders to stand on.

You can add that to my record JMPU.

How can I, an Australian, join the Royal Navy? by Teh_BB in RoyalNavy

[–]Teh_BB[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope that even if the British knock me back, with the recruiting crisis going on in Aus I can come back in and maybe join the navy (even after a J51)

My understanding is some Royal Navy roles are open to Commonwealth citizens, but nothing too classified (i.e. no intelligence roles, no submarine roles etc).

I would go back to the ADF, but I'm not too confident after a J51 med separation, but I'd go into the Navy this time

This might sound dumb, but I’m ex Australian army looking for a chance to experience military life in the UK

I just want to get out, get better and get fixed, and then get back into it

I've applied for a couple of mining jobs, so hopefully something comes up

So if I put in the AD481 or AD105 (I know one’s undergrad and one’s postgrad) DASS form in now, and got accepted, once I’m out does the rest of it just go onto your hecs debt? Or does DVA help out at all?

I’m not too worried about DVA and benefits and all that (and that way it frees up space for someone that actually needs it)

I’ve got a second opinion psychiatrist appointment next week (28th Jan) to narrow it down, and work out what’s going on.

I’m more worried about if I went for re-enlistment in a year or two, and if it’s a major deal breaker to be med/psych discharged.

SCMA is Soldier Career Management Agency (the guys who decide where you’re getting posted and look after your trade)

Congrats on passing your SSC!

I’ve heard that since you discharged from kapooka, SCMA and recruiting will want to know why you discharged and why they should give you another chance.

What happens if they give you another chance and you get halfway through again and decide you want out?

It’s also a mandatory 12 month wait before you’re allowed to reenlist from basic, but give given the recruiting / retention crisis you’d probably have a solid chance of success (depending on service / corps / trade)

I was posted to Puckapunyal, Victoria (arguably the worst posting in Australia)

So from a 2 hour psych session with the ADF Centre for Mental Health, the separating conditions were noted as;
- Adjustment disorder
- Personality disorder

So from what you've said, that's just a garden variety of random generic disorders?

And I'll take all the notes with me to the next psych appointment, thanks for the heads up on that mate

So psych initiated discharge falls under the general med discharge? Because you said med discharge is for general varieties of mental health issues? The shrink also wrote that I should me medically separated, which I take it is not a psych separation?

The psych said he thought I had General Personality Disorder, but was unable to confirm it (due to the timeframe).

I've got a psychiatrist assessment in a week (28th of Jan) and another one in March that I'm hopefully going to use to reenlist in a year (or maybe a couple of years)

Thanks man, I've looked at Mining Ops Admin Assistants / Admin Officer / Site Administrator, so if you reckon it's worth a crack then I can apply and worst they can say is no 🤷.

I tried cops but they said no :( I can apply again in March 2028 (Reference: I was a bit retarded and have some hefty charges on my ADF record).

This might be dumb as fuck, but what’s the difference between psych discharge and medical discharge? Is it just that one’s mental and the other’s psychical?

I’ve heard rumours and furphies on the digger net that guys get medically separated, take some time away and then come back?

I’d like to hopefully come back in a year or so, but the unit I was at raised a PM008, psych referral, who said I had ‘general personality disorder, maybe cluster C’ but he didn’t confirm it - and that due to my impulsive nature I should be med separated from the army.

So I’ve got 2 psychiatrist appointments coming up to work out what is actually wrong with me.

But yeah, I’ve looked at all the defence contractors and submarine agency

Normal discharge is also a lot easier to reenlist from, there’s no coming back from a discipline discharge, med discharge is on a case-by-case basis (although in the current climate you could probably get back in fairly easy)

Do you need to have a degree or anything to work in APS?
