19 years in the Navy and still going. Been posted on a ship for most of that time as well.

Spent 15 years on one ship, HMAS Brisbane and loved almost every minute.

You don't need to be an Australian citizen if you are a K1W1.

I though it strange you thought you had to be an Australian citizen. My best mate has done 20 years in the Navy and is a Kiwi without Aussie citizenship.

You should have joined the NZ Navy, they spend more time in Sydney than we do!
