Career Chat | RAAF Basic Training (Network Technician)

I did recruits with this man, what he failed to mention was his unwavering willingness to succeed and adapt where necessary, once he was under my direction and as a “poor 19 year old” it was a credit to his character to see him take it in his stride and work with me in ways he would have never normally considered. He also loves a bit of cheeky full auto out field. Well done Sal

I wish I could ask Tim some questions about the trade training for NETECH. Like if you are able to be officially certified with civilian recognised certifications as part of your training pipeline. This is something that was decidedly missing from my experience in the UK Royal Navy in a similar role.

No disrespect, but you make a lot of assumptions that are blatantly incorrect, you’re still a trainee during the filming of this video. You honestly have no experience or insight of how things work yet.

Very informative session Brodie. I'm enlisting as a CETECH next week. This is the only video that gave me a full picture of what I'm about to face. For the love of good health and lifestyle, I'm going to actively take part in all activities and possibly come out stronger. Thanks again from the bottom of my heart for doing this interview. Regards to Tim for taking the time in explaining everything beautifully.
Keep up the good work.

Can you get through 1RTU wearing glasses ok?

Three days out field?? I spent an entire week out in 1RTU! For both field phases 😳

Any update on Tim? wondering how he is going through IETs.

i enlist in the navy in just under 4 weeks, i have past the pre enlistment fitness test easily but still think i'm gonna struggle once i arrive at Cerberus

I'm Class 3R currently. Talk about being concerned that I may be knocked back. Hearing old mate, have a Class 4, is a positive (that he enlisted).
