Fiji Sun, Friday 2 Feb – Screenings for female candidates have begun as the Fijian Navy gets set to include 20 women into the division for the first time in its 43-year history.
The Navy received close to 3000 applications this year, out of which more than 1200 were females, revealed Navy Commander Captain (Navy) Humphrey Tawake.
“It is historical to recruit females in the Navy,” said Captain Tawake.
“We did consult our counterparts in Australia and New Zealand on how to smoothly introduce women into the Navy workforce.”
He said a specialist from the Royal New Zealand Navy would come in next month to lend assistance with policy making to accommodate the new intake. Read in Fiji Sun
