£1300 recruitment bounty scheme

[stickmonkeytamer]

I've just opened my morning mail...The first 200 serving personnel who successfully pressgang their kids or neighbours into the RAF in specific trades/ branches will receive a £1300 (gross) bounty under this new scheme, upon successful completion of IOT or RTS.

Is this a bit like the "Introduce a friend to Sky" scheme?

Branch

FC
OSB (Flt Ops)

PMRAFNS
WSOp(L)
SNCO ATC

Ground Trades
CIS OM
Int An
FOA

Supplier
Pers Admin
Regt Gunner

Seems strange that there is a shortage of Pers Admin, Doesn't JPA work or something?:rolleyes:

Not sure what some of those bottom abbreviations are, but I know a young man who is considering a career. Maybe then.. just maybe.. I could convince him that being a steward would offer him more than being a technician? :hmm:


:{ Technician, the shame of it.

£1300 sounds a bit too much for a bounty, 57p at our corner shop!!

How does one sign up to be a SNCO ATCer? Will they be called 'plastics'?

I bet it don't apply to reservists. I've got about 20 of 'em about to join my RAuxAF Sqn from civi street. I could afford to retire!!!

If you are aircrew (or aircraft trade) and you don't know what an AMM is, you haven't been paying attention. For those of us who need educating and can't arsed to research the RAF careers website:

Initially, you will be trained and serve as an Aircraft Maintenance Mechanic, where you will gain valuable experience of working around aircraft and be part of a team preparing aircraft for take-off and checking for damage and wear after they return from a flight. During this phase, you will be given the opportunity to assist with the replacement of both mechanical and avionic components, regardless of your future technician trade.
Following a period of further training, you will then be a qualified Aircraft Technician (Avionics) and able to carry out the full range of responsibilities of the job, diagnosing and repairing more serious faults and carrying out complex maintenance tasks.


These are the young people who service and refuel your aircraft.

looked like my weekends were going to be busy dropping coins into pints until I realised it was for the first 200. If recruitment is so bad what on earth is 200 going to do (I thought they were after about 4000!). Tight arses!

So what is stopping 'someone' standing outside the AFCO handing these out? :suspect:
