This section of the SANDF is dead, not anything happening at the Navy reserve force?
My son has applied for a job on an Australian leisure cruise ship, and was accepted as a Scuba dive instructor, 4 500 Aus dollars a month, roughly R 41 000.00 per month
The sad thing is, he want's to be in the SA Navy, but sad to say, he is not good enough or too white
Our son is going to leave our shores to find a living over the waters, it is so sad for us as a family, but we hope for the best
May I wish your son every success and happiness in his new appointment. I know he will prosper, surrounded by people who were also chosen on merit, for their skills and ability, and because they want to work. The cruise industry employs many South Africans, all of whom wanted a life where merit and hard work is recognised - not failure and hopelessness. Some years ago we cruised on Cunard's Queen Mary 2 and 75% of the staff running and working the indoor Health and Spa facilities were South African - we had lovely conversations in Afrikaans!
A whole new world of opportunity awaits him
