Spent 6 in back in the late 80's early 90's. Did my stint in the Gulf. I look back on my time with a sense of respect and fun.(Did my time with the MP's in Lamia as well). Yes it is not for everyone and I guess it has changed a lot. Still I had a good time. Don't regret a thing...
The navy sux people, wake up. It's all about getting people in. Don't join don't join DON'T fucken join the navy. It is shit, I was in the navy so listen to some first hand advice.
No they don't tell you about cleaning the heads, or the endless days painting ship, standing watch as bridge lookout in the freezing winter, with greenies washing over the bow, or vomiting in your rack after a rather harsh night out in a foreign port. But hey after 34 years, I wish I was still there. Civvy life just sux!!!!
RAN should have job losses if nurses or health workers in the economy are. RAN helped BUSH with his fake wars & building up personal stocks. RAN doesnt solve the problems here first like the growing Arabic gangs. & why should we pay RAN for female members to have bigger breasts? waste of tax $. Aus is least likely to be attacked as we suck up to every other country & let them all in with better benefits than Aus have. we dont need RAN to give charities to o/s who wouldnt return the favor.
How old is this video? Only asking because it shows a couple of RAN vessels that are no longer in service: the Torrens-class destroyer escourts and Oberon-class subs. Thanks for posting though, great video.
Reckon I have done more DC shit than anything else in my job description. I found out the less time you spent on a particular subject at RS or Cat. training, the MORE you did out in the fleet (ie. DC, Communal, watches etc.)
No video summed up my time in the RAN like this one. My time in the RAN was the best and worst time of my life. PS it was never used as an advertisement.
Looks like fun? Don't believe it. Didn't see anyone scrubbing toilets did you? Getting up in the middle of the night to do excercises, been there done that. Don't do it.
Been there, done that myself and glad to be out. Ships don't clean themselves, though. Still get up in the middle of the night to fight bushfires. Go for it, young men and women!
Sooo shit. the RAN is a haven for deadbeats and brown nosers. FSU Waterhen is te breeding ground for incompetence

The guy fast roping at 2.27 didn't use his legs to clamber onto the rope as he descended. That was a stuff up big time
