🇦🇺 FIFO nightshift 🇦🇺  

Pauly my man fuck yeah bruthaaa

With so many aboard ship, how limited were your duties? If you're not driving, navigating or operating radar, it might be a lot of drill? Sorry if this is out of line, just curious.

@@Jimmy911ism There are many roles on a ship in which you're tasked to. Your rate may take up most of you daily duties, but depending on what you're doing, it will mean you're either working 5x5, 4x4 shifts of something similar. Working four hours on, four off. That sort of thing. Or you'll do daily duties then go up on the bridge for Quartermaster tricks til early hours of the next morning. Some rates are good hours where they're just dayhands while others have such static hours. For example: a Coxswain will work early morn thru the day doing their duties and after dinner will be up in the bridge for the evening until very late. Finish, might go back down to their office to play catch up on paperwork before putting their head down for a few hours then wake up to do it all over again. On the other hand, a stores sailor is just a day hand with ancillary duties at night in case something goes wrong, or a sea evolution/exercise requires them. (Other ancillary duties such as Standing Sea Duty Watch, Fire party, ships medical emergency team, flight deck team, Boarding Party and others. They will often run these exercises and drills after hours so you're often up late practicing flood drills, fire and toxic gas drills or assisting in helicopter (helo) takeoffs and landings)

@@arefrigerator396 sounds like an adventure, but a hard grind indeed. Thank you.

I dunno man looks pretty cruisy compared to the job I do, and they probably get paid triple as much and have no rent or utility bills, sounds like a dream job.

@@melbournestacker if that's true, why don't you give it a try, then. If that's true, I've been completely ripped off all these years.

That's and endangered species mateee. 😂

More like hardworking Mozzies 🤣

@@yoza7359 mozzies is Māori mate he’s Samoan lol

@@forthelaughs1529 going by his name you’d think he’d know that one ayee

There’s no such thing

That's what I thought.he would be buggered by start of the shift.

@@juneallan4903 if he does 12 hour shifts and finishes at 5am, he’d only be getting 4-5 hours sleep after eating and showering?? Stuff that, that’s insane

Its not for the feint hearted i tell ya

@@neat9283 I do fifo too but 5 hours sleep is just unnecessary and will shorten your life span

Doing those sort of hours will definitely age you with the quickness. I get that some people just don't need 8 hour sleep but yeah yeah nah yeah nah fuck that mate.

Fuck as a residential scaffy this looks so hard, I’d probably die getting paid as much as they do doing all this hard work

@JS yea my comment was all sarcasm, I know people that fifo and such and let me tell you as a scaffy when they come back to commercial they cry because ‘I haven’t had to work this hard in ages’ lol

Depends on the mine, or qualifications you have.. if you are in to start fresh it can be rough but if your ticketed up the wahoo then you can sneak a cushy job 😅

The only hardworkers there are those fcking scaffolders. They are gamebred.

@@deepinthemangroves208 too funny coming back to this comment and seeing this comment as a scaffy 😂

Bro, you want to drive a wide range of machinery without all the bs and hassle with tickets and all this having to know people? go work on a cotton farm.

What does your job entail? I used to work hard labour, and man, I'm sick of it. I quit doing heavy jobs to do a uni degree and change careers.

I'm tipping roughnecking ain't nearly as hard or dangerous as a decade or two ago.

BOOOOOOOORING!!! Mine work is not for everybody.

​@@carpediem4512 This is town mining. Not even close to FIFO mining.

@@carpediem4512 everything is boring.... i bet what u do is just as boring

I bet nophones are allowed on n the mine or no filming policy onsite

The issue is that only works for people who care about that. Personally I prefer coming home and seeing my blanket still crumbled a little from when my dog wakes up in the morning, feels more lived in and like an actual bed. In saying that the only time I spend in my room is when I sleep, the second I'm awake I don't go back to my room until I need to sleep

Wrong

Yeah mate that's Tarong power station. Still provides base load to SE Queensland. I've stayed in Kingaroy a bit in my time too.... that looks like the pepper tree cabins.

He's in town. Geez, easy life. Try working in the middle of the desert. He's got a car park.

Most in fifo get pay alot
