Be the Best: Navigator in the Army

[charliegolf]

Just before the 'smell of stale wee' jokes set in:

Every day, I drive past (was going to type 'I pass') an up-to-date billboard advertising Army Careers. You know the ones, all the trades listed by name.

Anyway, you can, it seems, be a navigator in the Army. I'm interested to know what their Army role is. Anyone know?

Being as its Army I guess its a strictly non-commissioned role, officers, maps and all that.

One of the studes on my pilots course was a Royal Corps of Transport cap-badged Corporal nav. Inevitably nicknamed Vasco.

CG,

I think you may just have stumbled upon the solution of what to do with the surplus of navigators in the RAF, with the draw-down of F3 and other new navigator-free aircraft.

I am sure it would be a good career enhancing move to spend 2/3 years working with the Army doing their primary role, rather than staying in with the RAF and taking over roles that they never used to do, just to justify their existence.
