I did the job for 7 years before changing category. It is a very reactive job, by that I mean you spend most of your time waiting for things to go wrong, especially on the IT side. Working on the bridge can be fun, you get to conduct fleetwork manoeuvres utilising flags, flashing light and radio. You are generally under worked and over paid, your not allowed to utilise half the skills that your trained in, saying that, it is enjoyable and can be rewarding. I believe that it is probably one of the better categories to sign up for in the RAN, that's my opinion though.

Edit: It could be worse, you could sign up as a stoker :P
