You need to join up for a few years, join the right corp to get the right skills, maybe do a tour or two for the big tax free pay, then get out and become a contractor on the big dollars. I know two who have done this, both on serious money with multi-national defence companies.

Just missed out on nasho, but it was fun. I later found out that if you did your service in the reserves, you could still be called up for nasho, but they couldn't send you out of the country to serve. All good with me as I wanted to transfer to RAAMEE anyway. (The maintenance section). The thing I remember the most is the lack of sleep, as someone always had some piece of kit that needed repair, usually in the field with little test equipment, apart from a WW2 AVO 8 multimeter, the one with the 90 volt battery in it, that was always dead ! The two way radios also dated to the Korean war and were valves, also using the ubiquous 90 volt HT battery and a special 3 volt filament battery. Pissed me right off when travelling for hours to service a dead radio, and all that was wrong was dead battery's as some grunt had left it turned on for a week !

My then employer, AIS, now BHP, wasn't too impressed with me joining as when I asked for a 2 weeks off to attend a specialist training course, they made me jump through all sorts of hoops as they had to give me the leave with full pay, and not take it from my normal annual leave. I ended up just taking a fortnights annual leave and disappeared for those 14 days.

Like I said, all good fun, providing you didn't take it too seriously, especially he drill sergeants ! (Sorry if there are any out there, but 50 years dulls the memory's !).





The world can survive without Politicians, but it cant survive without farmers.

I don’t think Starlink uses cables.

China is aggressively mapping the ocean floor. It's vessels have repeatedly been caught operating illegally in other nations' territories.

Their survey ships have been caught several times mapping the floor off Exmouth where our and the US subs play around.

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature. Marcus Aurelius

I have little sympathy for these debt ridden university students. They do useless 'feel good' degrees without checking the demand for it, then :gasp: can't get jobs that pay high enough to cover that debt. Those doing legitimate degrees like accounting, project management, mining engineering etc have no trouble paying off their loan.

Mapping the sea floor where subs and such train.. 

Laying mines ??   Surveillance and identifying trackers ?? Both ??

I watched most of that video and almost all of it went over my head. The dish in the video has been superseded, they aren’t round anymore.

I can’t see why a ground link is needed for one dish to communicate directly with another dish. Sort of like Ham radio, but faster, clearer and with the ability to share video and data.  Ham radio is so last century.   I bet your ham radio can’t directly dial a mobile phone number anywhere on the planet?  My Starlink connects my mobile to any number, anywhere.  I don’t have to broadcast a radio call to every man and his dog, hoping someone with useful intel might reply and giving up my location to anyone with a direction finder listening in.  I can dial the other party directly or discreetly view or download information without everyone knowing what I’m doing.
