ESP courses give insight into the world of black
The
Submarine Training and Systems Centre at HMAS Stirling is again
conducting Enhanced Selection Process (ESP) courses for potential
submariners.
The ESP is a five-day obligation free course for people across the
three services interested in becoming submariners.
The ESP, conducted 12 times per year, incorporates a number of team
building exercises, a smoke walk at the Survivability School and
a recompression chamber dive at the Submarine Escape Facility (SETF).
Briefs are given on the role of each job category on the boat, as
well as daily routines onboard and a tour of one of the submarines
(when available).
The course allows volunteers to make an informed decision on submarine
service and also gives instructors the chance to assess the volunteer’s
suitability.
Submarine life provides pay increases, a unique lifestyle, challenges
and a sense of achievement. People who wear ‘dolphins’
wear them with pride.
The existing categories in submarines are ET’s, MT’s,
Acoustic Warfare Analysts, Electronic Warfare Analysts, Cooks, Stewards,
CIS’s and Medics.
For officers there is a choice of seaman, marine engineering or
weapons electrical.
To volunteer for the ESP, request through your divisional system
to volunteer for a course. You also need to complete the necessary
criteria in accordance with DI(N) PERS 75-41 and notify DSCM/DNOP.
