Excellent experience working in different systems.
I report to a senior engineer. I make sure that subordinates they work safe as policy laid down. I learn how to manage and lead different people in different situation. I enjoy the field I am in because its my field as mechanical technician and I apply my theory from school in other situations. The most challenging its a cornfin space in the submarine and there are females working there sometimes they stragly to work in other places.
Pros: Promotion wise its quick but depending on my progress
Cons: Eight hours normal day and twenty four hours when I am duty after four days

Its a good organisation as a first time employer. it basically introduce working processest to new entrants to the working market. As monitoring is one of the crucial roles that are played by the organisation, members are inclined to more disciplined way of doing things unlike a normal person.
Pros: Great room for growth
Cons: Your views are disregarded when your are a in a lower ranking

Hounered to be part of SA Navy
My day to day work start with heads count at 07:30 then followed by planning meeting at 08:15. I really enjoy the company of my colleagues, they make life a lot easier as we look up for each other at all times. Being out of your comfort zone thought me a lot about being independent and perseverance. I like being travelling the world and sailing just became one of hobbies. The most important thing about my job is that my family really understand what's on the stake and they always support me at all time.
Pros: N/A
Cons: N/A

Most excellent learning curve, training and development.
I have gained experience, training at the company's expenses. I grew very well with the job with different people mentoring me. I have trained and worked with many different people and enjoyed every second of it. There were great opportunities and development up until I got to a point where I am.
Pros: Great opportunities to grow and gain experience
Cons: Working weekends and sometimes have to travel at short notice. As you grow development becomes limited.

Looking for better opportunities
I have been working for the SANavy for 21years now and am not where I wanted to be. I have graduated with my NDiploma HRM and registered for my Bachelor's degree in Industrial Organisational Psychology. I have just completed my Facilitator/ Assessor/Moderator courses and completing my Skills Development Facilitator Course (SDF). I would love to become a Training Co-Ordinator or Training Evaluator with a better salary. I am a people's person. My work colleagues come often to me for advise on a career /work/or professional level. I am a workaholic. I believe in finishing any given task at the shortest possible time. I am a perfectionist and I believe in doing things right the first time and moving on to the next task at hand
Pros: Good Environment if you love helping and teaching others.
Cons: No promotion
