  1. Northern Trident has been a truly amazing, once in a lifetime experience. If you want to join the Navy visit defencejobs.gov.au/navy
  2. You can really get a feel for what life is like in the Royal Australian Navy here: http://tinyurl.com/ycu8sls
  3. I’ve been a Marine Technician for 5 years. I love my job, I like working with my hands & I have some great mates that I work with.
  4. If you love travel, then the Navy is the ultimate job. Not that we’re always at sea, we spend a lot of time ashore too doing our job.
  5. Well final day at sea for this deployment. We’ve travelled over 33,000 nautical miles around the world & visited 13 countries!
  6. Doing some study through Navy when I return, up my qualifications & maybe get a promotion down the track too!
  7. Busy day, us MTs were doing our usual maintenance on ships propulsion systems, then had search & rescue exercise - one of my auxiliary roles
  8. Footy Grand Final was on, we watched it on the TV onboard and the chef will whip up some good old meat pies for lunch, it was a great game.
  9. The remnants of the Typhoon Dujuan made for a somewhat bumpy ride at sea last week, lucky for the weather railings on our racks (beds)
  10. We set sail for passage to Sydney, it’ll be nice to see the family & my other mates again. But here onboard we’re kind of like a family too
  11. With 4 days in Kure my mates & I'll be taking in some sights. Maybe take our bikes out to explore a bit, but first I’m on watch duty tonite
  12. We’ll be alongside in Kure tomorrow, this will be our last international stop over before we set sail for the Pacific Ocean and then Sydney.
  13. On to Kure, Hiroshima, home to the biggest battleship ever built. We’re taking part in a goodwill exercise with the Japanese Navy on the way
  14. Have spent 4 awesome days in Tokyo, loved the place! I ate the best sushi of my life.
  15. 350,000 litres of fuel are taken for the ship during replenishment, sounds like a lot but we're at sea til 13th Sept when we arrive in Japan
  16. Did replenishment at sea w/a US naval ship, we took on stores & refuelled in the middle of the ocean, most of the ships company is involved.
  17. Attended the 64th Anniversary, End of the War in the Pacific,memorial at Pearl Harbour, Musos played w/US Navy, a great experience for them
  18. Have a look how we are tracking on this map: http://bit.ly/Y4E46
  19. Tokyo's our next port of call. Some real Japanese food will be awesome although Chef whipped up some great sweet treats for arvos today.
  20. Did a PT session on deck this arvo, the Navy is big on fitness & you feel great after it. We have bikes, rowing machines & weights onboard.
