Pine Gap opens up a new market
United States employees at the Pine Gap Joint Defence
Facility (JDFPG) near Alice Springs, and their families,
now have unprecedented access to Charles Darwin
University.
Under a new arrangement
with the University, US citizens
connected with JDFPG can
enrol in vocational and higher
education courses on the same
basis as Australian permanent
residents.
The University’s business
development manager, Ian
Towns, said Pine Gap families
form a significant percentage
of the Alice Springs community.
‘But the Alice Springs community
as a whole will benefit from the
broadening of the University’s
local student base.

But you made comments about 2 of the largest aircraft ever built that fly in 3 times a week,.. HMMM, something doesn't add up here if there are only 600 staff, thats a lot of food considering the size of the aircraft.

The piece of paper I signed that you never have.
Which is standard SOP for military sites.
So I can't tell you much else, you have to find that out for yourself or "sign up" and do your duty for your country.
Happy Hunting

Yeah I tried looking and couldn't see it. Maybe for the fact that it's built into the side of a mountain

Your proof is that you have never worked for the military as you previously admitted, my proof is that I know what the "minimum" SOP's are. At a certain level DefC/SOPs are mandatory. (which is public knowledge I am using) regardless of O/S issues.
