yes there are mechanics in ADFA they are either called meo's or weo's (weapon enginering officer) i forget what the first one stands for but generaly known as an enginering officer's

Actually they are Mechanical Engineers, and I studied with some from the Navy there. Certainly no mechanics then (I thought you might be talking about in the labs), as swinging spanners on armour was my job before I went there to study. My greatest complaint against the universities engineering degrees system is the lack of practical and hands on effort required to get a degree, so you end up with complete poindexters with no co-ordination what-so-ever and no concept of practical application riding at the top of the class.

The degree is 4 years, and the return of service obligation (ROSO) is 5 years...a year for each year of study and a year on top. Pretty standard across defence.

Anyway I PM'd him to fix his details or show his timeslip. Dishonesty is not acceptable in defence.

So what did/do you do in the Navy xr8eater?

yes he could be on leave or duty during RAP period he also could be simplifying terms for civillians saying he is a mechanic

and sorry skylinegeoff that is classified you know i cant let you know ha ha and the return service changes for diffrent applicants depending on what you are doing

and it's harder to get into the navy than any other force that is why it's called the seinor service and they came to me for the job by the way ha ha ha

Bet I could find out before the end of January if I wanted Cairns is a pretty small operation. ROSO for long courses is generally the length of the course plus one year. All ADFA students are subject to that requirement.

The only reaon it's hard to find people to get into the Navy is cos they don't wanna have to find the golden rivet or have sump up the rump.

Anyway, have a good one
