South African Defence Force Reviews

 

First job i got after graduation

I went to numerous job interviews... But did not get a job after graduation. The sdefence force gave me an opportunity. I was blessed to become an officer after two years of my training. I am a captain in a deployment unit, my co-workers are friendly and helpful around the office. My section head is a Lt Col and he motivates me to be the best. I get opportunity to visit our soldiers in DRC and Sudan, which makes me want to work hard to make their stay there pleasant. We work around the clock to ensure that they are supported logistically. The most challeging aspect on my job is that you have to ensure that all the requirements are met when required because the people in the mission area are a priority meaning your weekends are not yours. For Sudan they work from Sunday to Thursday. Meaning they are always active on Sundays. The military culture shape you to be disciplined and adhere to orders.

Pros: Great opportunity for promotion
Cons: There is no overtime payment and the salary is not enough

Never to old/young to learn.

In my work environment, I had the oppertunity to work in all spheres in what the dental field required. Meaning, a allrounder. First of all, I am a dental assistant, logistic clerk, data capturing, account dept, building maintenance clerk, health and safety clerk and sometimes a personnal assistant to our Director. I have deployed to Peace Keeping countries. Travelling overseas on amilitary ship. I am one of very,few soldiers that has done all these different task. If, asked why, I was asked/chosen and told to do it. And each of theae spheres, I had to grab, learn fast and mastered it. Therefor, I consider myself a very knowledgable person, not afraid of challenges.

Pros: Oppertunities is there, is you are willing.
Cons: Not always acknowledged.
