stubby 175 Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 as your thinking of doing this in oz, surely better for you to put the question to them via an australian forum, after all, what works here, may not there, plus they may have different certification Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisJones 7,975 Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Get out there! You won't get rich doing PC work over here! Why do you have to do 6 years in their army? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If i transfer to there army then i have to do a minimum of 6 years, basicaly stops people from going over there getting out and reaping the benefits, plus they will pay to move all my belonging's apart from cars and dogs out to australia.

Its always hard when you first come out the forces, Or thinking about it, Wondering what you are going to do on civvie street. Transfering to oz is an option for you but make sure its what you all want. That means another six years of postings etc. And i see you have a young family. Dont know what reg you in so cant really coment to much. Have you learnt any trades whilst you were in? You wont earn a lot over here pest controling. I havent been out long and it can be a sruggle at first adjusting but you have you family and that will be a good focus point to keep you sane. Good luck whatever fella Quote Link to post Share on other sites
