I thought we do have a sub rescue ship in the form of M/V Kendrick, though we lease it.

These r only useful if we use individual escape or rush escape....these r last means of escape where the air in the distress submarine is contianimated or flooding is out of control....these type of escape will usually caused personnel to have decrompession illness or ruptured lung...saw a demo when was in Aus during sub escape trg...where they filled a wine bag ( to show that's ur lung)with air n let it float to surface from depth of 15 metres....below it reaches the surface...the wine bag exploded....

the preferred resuce method is collective method where the crew wait for rescue vechicle like DSRV or LR5 to come n mate with the sub n rescue the crews to reduced DCI....

Too bad RSN had no such vechicles n have to wait for our Ally USN to rescue the crew if a distress submarine scenario occurs....by the time they activate USN n to locate the distress sub...the chance of survival is close to zero......

btw salary varies, depending on the education level of the personnel and the SAF oes the same thruoghout in the organisation...
The pay i am posting are the pay of a Diploma holder...

To be selected for Submarine Service, i think you does need to have a good education and many other qualities...
Dun forget, u will need to pass the selection and training....
I know of 2 submariners and they have diplomas...
I don't think there will be any O-level or N-level holders in the submarine service...
Maybe you can tell me you know of someone who do... maybe you can intro him to me...
A submariner takes on more than 1 vocation in his sub... This is how the manpower requirement is cut down... Education and training is very important...
THink in recent 5 yrs back or so, the RSN doesn't takes in N-level student as regulars(sailors) liao... O-levels also not really... There may be exceptions but very very rarely(may be open to those NSFs in RSN), I dun see any of them personally...
The RSN is moving towards higher tech and reuiqres personnel with higher level of education....

NDU is different, they takes in N and O levels as regulars...

u know 2 who r diploma holders..
so do u know when they went for course?
i think the 2 u know most probably have only 7 to 8 years in the navy..
those i'm talking abt are those have roughly 9 or more years in the service..
MOST importantly, ppl holding only O or N levels doesnt equal to incapability to work or unable to multi task in the service.. Remember tat the diplomas specs are trained by seniors with O or N levels..

for ur info, i'm a diploma holder

Arena SG

btw u in the navy?
so do u know any submariners who have O or N levels as highest qualifications?

riken1974 SG
