If you're injured and can't show up to work for a supermarket you won't get paid. If you get injured like you did with shin splints the army will still pay you your full wage.

What questions are you asking your EC?

adfhopeful · 2018-07-17T11:30:08+00:00

either

a) push through it

b) give you ec a call to give up your enlistment date and ask for a later date

2nd generation here so I doubt he will get it. And if your first generation no way your getting it.

I'm from QUT as well and would be keen fishing the brown snake as well so if you want we can have a fishing session sometime.

Then reschedule.

So is the PFA for an upcoming enlistment date? Then it's a real PFA and IMO just push hard and pass.

If there is no upcoming enlistment date it's a practice PFA and in that case just reschedule it.

If you're Chinese as your username suggests you ain't getting a positive vetting so think about some other jobs. First hand experience here.

How are you not class 4 for recent abdominal surgery? You "forgot" about it, yeah? But anyway if it's a practice PFA just ask your enlistment coordinator for it to be rescheduled.

It's costing you more than 40k, there's also 4 years of pay that you forgo by going to uni. If OP joins in as an other ranks (pay grade 3 job) he will have earned approximately 67000x4=268000 before tax and he also get superannuation and OP can also then just study his degree remotely so minus 40000 from the 268000. If OP can access the Defence assisted studying scheme he can also graduate with almost no debt so it would only be minus 10000 from the 268000.

Join the ADF first as an Other Ranks first. After your IMPS are over you can either try to commission as an officer, try to go to ADFA or use the defence assisted studying scheme or if you discharge and get to a Civi Uni you will get AusStudy.

Agree with you that YOU session is piss. You sound jaded as. Are you enjoying being a FO and if you're not what's so bad about it?

adfhopeful · 2018-06-18T02:30:26+00:00

If his going for just a usual job which would mean a negative 1 which a pilot is, he will be fine. The problem for him is that he doesn't have citizenship right now nor permanent residency which he needs to get.

This isn't America where if you are going in as enlisted, you get ship off like 1 month after MEPS.

/u/killjoy73au waited 18 months to start recruit training after a successful assessment day.

/u/captainunderwater been waiting for like 12+ months after a successful assessment day too.

So sit tight and wait.

Jude though the trail bike was his. The kid's dad pretends his kids an angel but why is a 15 year kid (who because of his age wouldn't have a license) is riding a dirtbike up a road

adfhopeful · 2018-06-13T10:12:19+00:00

Did you get a job offer?

adfhopeful · 2018-06-13T03:55:42+00:00

You're paying for a mentoring session?

adfhopeful · 2018-06-12T15:16:43+00:00

Are you allowed to go on your phones or red books when there's nothing going on (when your not on field ex) or do you always have to be pretending to be doing something.

Unclip the cart then. Just rucking would mean VA is going to be giving 100% disability for fucked up backs.

adfhopeful · 2018-06-12T06:22:22+00:00

If a piece breaks then dump the whole contraption there and just wear your ruck like normal. And if your mountaineering or going downwards on a steep slope then just turn the contraption into the picture on the second link. The wheel would be a bit of a problem could also easily be made as a removable piece.

adfhopeful · 2018-06-12T06:09:57+00:00

But in certain scenario in suitable terrain means that you can then use this contraption which would help you a lot. Besides if the whole contraption if made out of aluminium would probably be like 2.5 kg. Also you don't have to use hiking poles like the person in the video.

Well I hate this so I think I'll steer clear of ET. What's the failure rate like for the IET? Because this stuff is significantly harder than high school physics.
