Re: Royal Australian Navy Question
Yup meant Thales 
Blagged it?, never would have thought a matelot would do such a thing
Prefer permanent to temp visa and have planned in my ELC courses already to add extra quals
Typically the RAN don't want us skimmer WE's, obviously not enough zeds left in their pits
Cheers for the info, clearly not all bad even for a wafu

Both have their pluses and minuses but for me the Temp meets my needs...for now!

Re: Royal Australian Navy Question
I am on Temp, just been extended for another 4 years and it suits me financially, plus if at any time I want to return to UK they have to cover all expenses. Perm is good if you are 100% sure its what you want and KNOW you will have no issues within the family about leaving friends/family behind, including potential funerals!!

Not only had to pay for the trip home but re-imburse the RAN for the original costs :curse:Luckly I've been over twice with the mob, Uncle and Aunt live in sydney and the wife and kids are right up for it
might need to revisit the Temp idea if no visa after 22 up

Re: Royal Australian Navy Question
Can see the pluses especially LAFHA etc. Also know a guy who joined the RAN moved over and the missus hated it Not only had to pay for the trip home but re-imburse the RAN for the original costs :curse:

Re: Royal Australian Navy Question
I'll add Sydney ferries to my list. Using Seek at the moment to generate names of companies in areas I'm interested in and get an idea of salaries. The replies I've had back so far mostly indicate a preferencefor PR already and certainly earlier than Jun 12

Re: Royal Australian Navy Question
Not much in it and the SSSA is much nicer than a cabin Were WE's still on the RAN list until last October, bugger only sent off in Jan :curse:
