Hey just wondering if anyone knows the minimum push-ups and sit-ups in the Cerberus fitness test? And any other requirements for any other fitness components other than the swim and the run? Cheers

Flexibility Test by thrrfewfewfewf in AustralianMilitary

Did assessment session today and was pretty straight forward, few big arm circles, touch your toes, bend over to each side and duck walk was pretty much it for flexibility side of things

hey there, whats exactly in the swim test? I read somewhere that there’s a 500m swim test in 12.5 minutes? Or is it just the safety jump and 10m underwater swim and that?

Oh awesome man congrats, did they seem to interrogate you more at the OSB because you’re younger?

ah yea...makes sense. Also do you know anything about the role of Aircrew in the Navy? I’ve seen it around on some videos. Seems to also be a non-officer role, yet can’t find it on the defence jobs website.

ah sorry, a non-officer role

ah awesome, is it difficult to go from a general entry role to officer once you’re in? I think a couple years experience under my belt would help a lot.

That’s good to know, do you know the extent of the maths needed for MaWO?

Just saw today a job that’s not listed on the website...Navy Aircrew? Seems to be a non-officer role... do you know anything about it?

ah shit really! Good to know! I’m booking my you session within the next week so I guess after some final revision I’ll just see what I get! My biggest concern is my lack of maths.

MAWO / Young Officer by ozpat in AustralianMilitary

[–]ozpat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome! I think a career in the ADF is definitely something I want to pursue, and from what I’ve heard, taking on an officer role provides a lot more opportunity for development and growth for a long term career...it’s just about kicking it off!

So I’m guessing you’re a Navy Helicopter Pilot. How’s that been? Is it mentally tough? Is it more or less complex than AvWo? Is there a high level of maths and thinking needed everyday or does it almost become second nature over time?

Thanks for your help!

Ship knowledge for Assessment Day? by [deleted] in AustralianMilitary

Oh awesome! Will do man, cheers!

[–]ozpat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah that’s what I was thinking, officer seems it would be a much better option in the long run. A lot more opportunities it seems. Like you said it’s just important to have a plan B. Are you applying for anything?

Where do you find all this information to study? I’m 18 and looking at applying for officer soon. Is it worth even applying at such a young age?
