Payment of submariner is highest in JMSDF.<br /><br />1) Example of payment of submariner (leading seaman after 5 year of service, 6 pay-grade, 100yen=1.177$)<br />.<br />1-1)Monthly income 305,921yen (3,600$) = basic payment(206,200yen (2,426$))[2] + submariner perquisite(93,821yen (1,104$))[3] + voyage perquisite(2426yen (29$)) [2,3]<br /><br />1-2)Annual income: 4,868,000yen (57,360$)<br /><br />2)Working arrangements [4]<br />2-1) On berthing: 8am-5pm <br />2-2) On sailing: 3hours-work, 6hours-rest, 3hours-work, 6hours-rest<br /><br />1-3)Retirement money in the case of 5years-service: 2,258,000yen (26,615$) [4]<br /><br />[1] JMSDF HP<br />[2] Submariner perquisite is 45.5% of basic payment<br />[3] 10 days-voyage per month<br />[4] JMSDF memberl<br /><br />Regards<br />S<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19245896.post-84949768087531547542015-10-01T17:17:53.504+10:002015-10-01T17:17:53.504+10:00I couldn't publish a comment from elsewhere - ...I couldn't publish a comment from elsewhere - as it provided a bit too much information about submarine ops of an allied navy... <br /><br />PetePetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02624742078679760819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19245896.post-58177642001782821402015-10-01T17:09:45.527+10:002015-10-01T17:09:45.527+10:00Hi Vigilis
I'm under the open source impressi...Hi Vigilis<br /><br />I'm under the open source impression that the RAN recruits submariners from men and some women who already have several years in the RAN and sometimes a decade+ in the RN. So hopefully recruitment advertising is not a cash bonanza for corporations. However paying crew extra to retain them has been a constant problem as they frequently have the right psychology and technical skills for the sometimes higher payed mining industry. Both the mining industry and Fleet (including sub) Base West are roughly in the same area of Western Australia.<br /><br />I haven't seen any news about how the few women per sub are fairing. Missions may be far less than 6 months hopefully.<br /><br />Your http://aquilinefocus.blogspot.com/2015/05/thursday-submarine-tidbits-28-may-2015.html certainly indicates how problems can arise. Here's hoping that the new Defence Minister doesn't decide to make a cause about submarine crews as this may only place in the news what should not be in the news.<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />PetePetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02624742078679760819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19245896.post-87489380382533730052015-10-01T06:29:10.679+10:002015-10-01T06:29:10.679+10:00Hi Pete
Regarding recruiting woes in the U.S. Sub...Hi Pete<br /><br />Regarding recruiting woes in the U.S. Submarine Force, specifics are a matter of national security and not blogger discussion. <br /><br />The USN has said there are recruiting difficulties in connection with obtaining sufficient numbers of nuclear trained officers (this rationale was used to justify opening the service to women in 2010). However, a contemporaneous naval communication contradicted the official pronouncement by indicating reassignment of newly graduated male submarine officer to surface vessels to allow assignment of female officers to subs. At last check, the contradictory public document had been removed, making my embedded link void.<br /><br /><br />This past May, however, I found a startling public indication that a general US Navy recruiting shortfall is likely anticipated. Your blog tells me why it is navy-wide versus only subs. Consider the attrition rate of women serving aboard our nuclear aircraft carriers (hardly as many privations as submariners face, but hard for men and women of marriageable ages to justify nevertheless.<br /><br />This links to an apparently incredible increase in upcoming US Navy recruiting expenditures. http://aquilinefocus.blogspot.com/2015/05/thursday-submarine-tidbits-28-may-2015.html<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />VigilisVigilishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05051789616490005367noreply@blogger.com
