I learned alot because every after six months I was going on course. Eg First Aid, Fire fighting,
I was working 8 hours a day and pulling duties every after 4 days(24hrs). The communication that we had was very strong because we were working as a team on daily basis. As well as our relationship was good, we were like a family. I enjoyed solving problems, being a team player as well as working independently sometimes. I learned computer, driving skills (Military License) and of course Military skills. I was in the supply department (transport and logistics).
Pros: I believe I have more opportunities to the maritime industry
Cons: I was working 8 hours a day pulling duties for 24 hours and working on weekends.

Good foundation
Good day I have been with the Navy for more than 10 years and I have learnt a lot during this time. My interpersonal skills have been developed beyond my imagination, computer skills since my work is 80% computer based. I have also seen my leadership skills flourish since I got entrusted with leading roles in many activities and currently in a supervisory level, my reports speaks volume and the awards I have obtained since I became a senior operator. Communication is what I do for leaving and it's what I have been practising since I joined the SA Navy and I enjoy it a lot. The challenging parts of my job would be shortage of resources and limited career growth opportunities but other than that I'm copying very well
Pros: Self development opportunity which produces a great individual
Cons: Absence from home for lengthen period
