Average learning curve

Being in the SANDF it means to serve the interest of the country and its people in accordance with the constitution and the law by way of providing protection and safeguarding national belongings. As a logistician my work is to support the forces with all property, plant and equipment as well as rations and clothing, shelters needed in the battle and during training exercises as well. It is not an easy task to deal with especially for the fact that I have studied Accounting and now I am placed in Logistics. However to relate with other forces is an easy task to deal with as we have all being trained to leave as one South African family.

Pros: Fair opportunity for promotion
Cons: It is difficult to present new strategies to the superior because you only work on command.

Pros: slim opportunity for promotion
Cons: 8 to 10 hours a day

Great experience

It's a typical soldiers life, We train hard and discipline is the core everything is done according to commands. You learn to respect your superiors and​ work to earn your place. On a typical day we train we attend course classes. My relationship with my co workers is good as I'm an extrovert and I enjoy meeting different but mostly we give each other team spirit and lift each other up during training. I enjoy how we stick together for the good of serving our country. It's sometimes challenging because of the conditions under which we do our​ training .

Pros: You learn to be more than just a soldier
Cons: Long hours and very physical work

Never stick on place.

At my work place every morning we do maintenance around the base for few hours until 10am. Then we carry on with our daily tasks and duties. Working with my subordinates has taught me to work on my own and working as team under supervision or under no supervision. I can also work under pressure to reach target of the day. What I enjoy the most at work is when we work as a team and listen to one another's opinion or ideas on how we get the job done. But what is really challenging is when people fold their hands or malinger when there's load of work.

Pros: Be taken to do courses or being sent to learn further more at work it's what I like the most as a person whose very passionate about learning more.
Cons: Working over time or long hours does not affect or exhaust as I like what I do.
