MY JOB
Interacting with civilians
We have special training regarding civilian interaction when we go through our basic military qualification. We're given a card that tells us what we can and can't say.
It's just common sense. I've been approached by people before and it's usually just people thanking us for what we do.
I've also done presentations at the Duck Bay School for the students there. It was basically just telling them what I do and showing them some pictures. It was a good experience, though.
