Somali Pirates Take 60 Hostages (1 Viewer)

Yeah, last I checked it was like 50k for an active service enlisted man. Around 70k for a junior CO. Which is pretty alright.

Deployment bonuses are fucking massive as well. Afghanistan is $200 a day on top of all salary and other allowances.

Depends what you're studying You know about the undergraduate sponsorship schemes and such right, where they pay all your hecs and pay you to study?

I'm a navy brat

You know that you have to be enlisted for how long your degree/training takes +1 year though, right? 4 year degree + 1 year training = 6 years enlisted

I thought it was double man.

4 year degree = 8yrs enlisted after that

Jesus fucking christ why would anyone want to be an indentured slave (I.E work for the armed forces)

because they got an excellent corporate structure and they... *they* give *you* the tools to be your own boss.

Thank you! I want to address this question to Nebs who felt the need to bring it in to a thread about Somalian pirates. Gees...

If its a recession why doesnt everyone join the army? Instead of looking for a job.

Cos most people hate the idea of the military in Australia. We're not a very militaristic society compared to America for example.
Also, the ADF have strict medical and psychological requirements for entry, which most Australians would fail, especially if they're from the lower-income strata of society, which most unemployed people normally are.

This actually is sadly no longer true, they're willing to take almost anyone now, they're so desparate. It horrifies my dad with who the ADF lets in now.

Riet: Yes, I am aware of all that, for one- I am not stupid, and two- as I said, I'm a navy brat.

Right, clearly the somali's are attacking these tankers, taking people hostage and demanding millions of dollars because they want to protect their fish.

Obviously.
Oil tankers, cargo ships and military hardware transports are sapping our oceans dry of fish! How ever will the rabbit-breeding Somalis feed their 12 children without a staple diet of dried fish and American greenbacks?!

 

[katie tully]

I say we just blow up Somalia.

Why haven't we taken this and run with it.

Even Somalia doesn't want Somalia, we'd be doing the world a great service.

 

[SashatheMan]

I wish more nations grew balls and started using force against the pirates. So far all the other nations whose vessels have been hi-jacked have been payign the pirates out.
That will only incourage more looting.

 

[fleckar]

Lol, they hijacked a leb boat that was full of food aid for.. guess which country?

 

[moll.]

Wasn't it bound for Somalia?
That would be the ultimately lolworthy scenario. They stole a boat full of free stuff that was heading their way anyway.

 

[DiligentStudent]

I blame the Jews. Fucken tightasses.

 

[Garygaz]

Jews did 9/11
