22 NAVY ENGINEERING BULLETIN AUGUST 2002 So as you can observe from the sample of graphs our ability to conform to CDF Directive 19, which requires back to back postings in the same locality is difficult at best. The ANZAC MT community is in a similar position, and while the movement of ACLO and TUASSC to Western Australia will go some way to alleviate this problem there is much still to be done. Discussions on Class Basing are ongoing and while this may result in some initial turmoil it would certainly alleviate some of the locality restrictions placed upon us, subject to the re-location of all support infrastructures with the relocated seagoing units. The current manpower shortages also affect our ability to provide suitable replacements or respite from the rigours of sea. Within the workforce structure there are 2 factors built in to cover our Advanced Training Requirement (ATR) and our Training Ineffectives (TI) to try and provide a suitable number of personnel to fill both sea and shore positions and allow some additional fat to cover these 2 requirements. It can not, however, factor in those personnel that become ineffective due to a medical or compassionate circumstance. These issues place additional strain on the workforce and will lead to some members being returned to sea quicker than would normally occur. A graphic illustration of this is below, which looks at the ANZMT personnel at sea and ashore Vis the total that are available for sea: 35 ANZMTM Bodies @ Feb '02 30 25 Personnel Personnel 20 15 10 5 0 25 20 15 10 ABM LSM POM CPOM RANK ANZMTE Bodies @ Feb '02 SEA SHORE Shore 12m + Avail for Sea SEA SHORE Shore 12m + Avail for Sea 5 0 ABE LSE POE CPOE RANK
NAVY ENGINEERING BULLETIN AUGUST 2002 23 Regardless of this, no member will do more than 3.5 years at sea, unless they volunteer to forego shore service. To try and provide some further stability and respite, members posted ashore will receive 12 months ashore, unless they volunteer to return early. They will still be required to provide up to 91 days of Operational Sea relief within a 12 month period should the requirement exist, however, we will always endeavour to identify a volunteer from available members in the first instance. The issues discussed above are only the tip of the iceberg and over subsequent volumes of the Engineering Bulletin I will endeavour to highlight other problems facing us. Rest assured a lot of behind the scenes work is being carried out to try and improve our lot in life, some of the work which is currently being undertaken is: • FFG MT(E) review • Naval Engineering review • Class Basing • Review into geographic position locations for ANZAC ET/MT sailors • Review into Lateral Recruiting Process (LRP) • Re-Entry campaign (aimed at encouraging past members to rejoin) • Establishment of Skills Development Centres at FIMA Sydney and Perth • Enrolment with IEAUST • Introduction of the Electronic Technical Certificate of Competence (DI(N) PERS 75-43) While your Career Managers and I understand your frustration, we will continue to offer alternatives where possible, but I ask for your understanding in what is indeed a difficult period for us all. We are continuing to engage your category sponsor DNPR (E&L) and highlighting areas of concern. Any feedback or ideas are welcomed. Remember if you or your Ship/Establishment has not received the opportunity to speak with your relevant Career Manager then let us know so we can arrange a visit. In closing I would like to bring your attention to a number of signals that have been released lately that may have been overlooked: FROM SIC DTG SUBJECT ADHQ WAI 040120ZAPR02 Long Service Leave administration NAVY DGNPT WAA/WAC 110446ZJAN02 Outside Employment of ADF Personnel DEFENCE WAA 130321ZMAR02 New Policy – Recognition of DE FACTO Marriages in CANBERRA the ADF DI(G) PERS 53-1 DGNAVSYS WBS/W3Y/W3I 120650ZFEB02 ME/WE Personnel Development Program Agreement between NAVY and IE-AUST DGNPT WAK/WHK/WAD 040449ZMAR0 Reporting/Recording of Competencies DGNPT WAK/WHK/WAD 260827Z MAR 02 Reporting /Recording of discretionary promotion prerequisites in PMKEYS DSCM CONTACTS 1800 00 DSCM (1800 00 3726) MT (02) 6265 3305 ET (02) 6265 3300 AT (02) 6265 1577 or E-mail DSCM_Cell3@defence.gov.au (MT/ET inquiries) DSCM_Cell2@defence.gov.au (AT inquiries)
