Naval Service
The Naval component of the Permanent Defence Forces (PDF), the Naval Service constantly strives to recruit the best personnel. There are two entry levels for joining the Naval Service - as a Cadet or a Recruit. Each approach offers a different career path and differing challenges.
Cadetships
Officers are the managers, decision makers, and leaders of the Defence Forces. A Naval Service Officer specialises in Operations Branch or Engineering Branch. Officers of the Operations Branch of the Naval Service are responsible for the efficient running of the ship. It is only from within this Branch that an officer may become Captain of a ship. The Engineering Branch Cadet will be trained to a level whereby he/she can fill an appointment as a ship’s Marine Engineering Officer. The Engineering Officer is responsible for everything that keeps a ship afloat, moving and habitable. The attributes of a good Officer include the ability to make good decisions in stressful situations, an interest in physical fitness and a sound understanding of military tactics.
