ADDITIONAL TESTING WSE Flashcards
Why do you wish to be in the ADF/Defence?
I’ve always wanted to serve my country and work in the military in some form but never gave myself a proper opportunity to train for the occasion until now. It has also become more appealing as I grew older. I’m always willing and wanting to learn new things. Sense of pride being in uniform and being apart of something greater and to challenge myself beyond my comfort zone.
Why do you wish to join the RAAF?
RAAF. The training, development, career progression, doing something new. Pushing myself beyond my comfort zone, camaraderie and the idea of serving my country in my favourite service. It’s not something you would find in the private sector. This service is what will push me and allow me to learn the most and where I can make my most significant contributions to Australia.
What are the ADF values?
Courage, Respect, Intellect, Excellence, Service
And why does the ADF have values?
It builds a strong and effective military, provides a set of principles that guide the behaviour and decision making of personnel and the slogan ‘To Protect Australia and its National Interests’.
3 values of core and in what order?
Integrity, Excellence, Respect. (From that flows Courage and Service. )
For me, integrity is character. The ability to be honest, transparent, and accountable in all actions and decisions. Excellence is how steadfast you are. Striving for high standards and continuous improvement in all aspects of work and personal life. And lastly respect. Something that is both earned and given. Valuing diversity by treating others with dignity, regardless of their background, rank, or position, it fosters a culture of empathy and camaraderie.
Why do you want to be a AIO/IAO/CWA?
A career change into something that will not only serve my country and contribute change, but to learn something new that I can’t learn anywhere else. I’ve enjoyed doing gamified intelligence analysis in simulated military or state environments such as the ASIO Analyst/technologist Virtual Experience or OSINT CTFs. A role with something that has a bit of cybersecurity/IT as well.
Why do you want to be an Officer and not a Sailor, Soldier or Aviator?
Greater opportunities for growth. I wish to push beyond my comfort zone, to grow beyond who I am now and prove to myself I have more than the ability to lead and manage others in a larger capaicty, while also develop further and serving my country.
