well true it's tax free while ur doing the coures..aslo it's tax free if u work for them- eg. im doing aero. engerinnering and therefore i bee working for the airforce so it's taxfree

 

[kimmeh]

so does that mean ur going to adfa? for what course though?

 

[Azn fairies]

i apply for aernotical engerinerring ....but im not sure if i want to go anymore- even though my place is secure- i want to do medicaine instead, so i might quite ADFA

.... I'm sure when I asked them they said it wasn't...

i guess i was mistaken

 

[Azn fairies]

well it all depends on what coures u do...if u work for them but not under the airforce. etc. then it's not tax free.

eg) wokring under the UNSW but not for the governemnt(airforce)

 

[jm1234567890]

ok, i see now

 

[chip]

hey guys its not tax free no matter what your doing and for what service at every briefing and every interview and all the books i've read it says your still got to pay the normal tax rate for the amount of pay you are getting

hey azn fairy did you get the educational award is that why you got the laptop

 

[Azn fairies]

ummm don't know what it's called.. maybe it's the edu. award.

but i apply for ADFA 3 mooth ago and had the interview stuff 2 month ago and they only accpted 50 people.. and i was one of them...but i don't care how i got the laptop, as long as it's free

 

[Bambul]

I think only reserves get payed tax free

 

[White Rabbit]

Yeah reserves are tax free all the time, full time defence personel get tax free while one active deployment. Everyone who was in Operation Bastille and Falconer (Iraq) was paid tax free while there.

ok azn fairy

hey did you have to go to canberra?
cause my osb is next week so that means i'll miss valuable study time.....

i need some advice about the osb from anyone else thats been there?

 

[Sammmmmuel]

yer id do it for sure if i could do it and live in sydney, but having to live in canberra would take me away from my sweetheart, so its a definate no for me... i will settle for being in debt and a job as a kitchen hand!

 

[Azn fairies]

yeah it's at canberra- that why im not sure if i want to still want to go or not. plaining to do some elese maybe medicine at USYD.

-> but i still get to keep the laptop so it was worth the effort
