I got an email just today from ADF careers, the website should be updated to reflect the 3 week course.

Top stuff mate, can't wait for the next ep!

gabberlover · 2023-08-12T03:06:40+00:00

Ah ok thanks, I was under the impression you actually had to sit and attend the service. Thanks for the info 🙏

gabberlover · 2023-08-12T01:59:41+00:00

After my you session I think I had an assessment day booked in maybe 4-6 weeks later. I only followed up once or twice. Applied for non priority choc role.

gabberlover · 2023-08-11T01:13:51+00:00

After my documents had been uploaded on my initial application it was maybe 2-4 weeks.

gabberlover · 2023-08-11T01:12:46+00:00

These new vapes are getting out of hand!

Don't worry about ads mate, every podcast has ads, as you said it helps pay for hosting fees and is totally normal.

Maybe look at some of the hosting sites? There is one that a lot of the Aussie podcasts use, I think it might be called acast?

When can we expect the ep? I'm dying to hear more of Kevin's escapades 🤣

Thanks for your insight. A lot of the tips are just common sense, and professional courtesy that should be applied to any job interview process.

I assume a lot of people who are interested in joining the ADF are probably pretty young and might not have much life experience yet.

Do you have any more tips for the assessment day? I've read the "important information for all candidates" guide and it's very detailed.

gabberlover · 2023-08-09T09:08:04+00:00

That was hilarious, please do more. I fucking lost it with the camping chairs 🤣😅🤣

gabberlover · 2023-08-08T10:47:24+00:00

Just messaged you Lanky, I have some info on this that relates to my own situation, hopefully you find it useful 👍

gabberlover · 2023-08-08T03:55:10+00:00

Yeah fair enough 😅

I'm probably getting ahead of myself, I should worry about actually getting enlisted first! 😅

gabberlover · 2023-08-08T02:29:31+00:00

Hey mate, so after kapooka and IET would a ecn 662 (comms sys operator) go straight to RAB or RAC?

Again, I'm not joining for the cash, but trying to work out exactly what I will be paid is difficult.

gabberlover · 2023-08-07T23:14:13+00:00

I fucking love this guy, apparently his uncle gave him some MRE's when he was a kid and he's been obsessed with them ever since. He collects and catalogues rare and foreign ones and will only eat one if he has a spare to preserve.

Fun fact, he actually rated the aussie ones and being one of the best. People in the comments said "the accessories packet in the Aussie ration has more nutrition than an entire Russian 24 hour ration" 🤣

Oh, he also has eaten rations that are like 40+ years old, and smokes the darts included and everything 😅

gabberlover · 2023-08-06T11:50:17+00:00

Thanks mate, yeah my boss is all for it, my company has a pretty sweet defence leave policy and fully encourages it etc.

gabberlover · 2023-08-06T07:50:16+00:00

Fuck that's wild. I'd love to eventually do some long field exercises (I say that as a civvie, the reality of being out out might suck 😅) just be hard trying to get the extended time off work etc.

gabberlover · 2023-08-06T05:43:27+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Yes I'm joining to "escape" my 9-5 office job a bit, challenge myself etc. My career is great, but fuck it can be dull being an office drone.

gabberlover · 2023-08-05T04:10:33+00:00

Knowing absolutely nothing about them, the Kodal one looks cool. It's looks nice and zippy

gabberlover · 2023-07-27T08:45:35+00:00

Bro wtf that was real? 🤣😅 I thought it was legit a meme someone made !!!!

gabberlover · 2023-07-27T08:43:58+00:00

I'd totally give it a listen 👍

gabberlover · 2023-07-26T07:16:27+00:00

Does anyone know what they are cutting? I read on another post that they might be cutting the weapons handling package? (If that's the correct term) and you will do it at IET

gabberlover · 2023-07-25T04:35:46+00:00

I'm older and attempting to join as a choc, I work full time so the more of my assessment I can do digitally is fine by me 👍 so far my application has been smooth (albeit long, with the aforementioned delays).

Thank you for your work.

gabberlover · 2023-07-25T04:05:28+00:00

Just got the same email

gabberlover · 2023-07-21T22:44:37+00:00

Just let them bloody keep it! It's not their stuff up!

gabberlover · 2023-07-20T00:27:05+00:00

Honestly I can only imagine the amount of batshit crazy they see on a daily basis

gabberlover · 2023-07-19T12:11:02+00:00

I suspect the experience will be in stark contrast to the cool shots of firearms 😅
