G'day Lachlan,
After blood, sweat, and multiple spell checks you finally found the post button, eh?
Slightly related to the topic of base visits, how beneficial would doing work experience at Pearce be? I've got to book between 4 and 6 days of work experience for November this year, and it seems like Pearce isn't on the list anymore under "ADF Work Experience", there's some Aviation placement at Garden Island however. Would it be worth trying to talk to someone at Pearce about work experience, or would G.I. be fine?
