Soldier first - Tech second???

Not being funny fellas, but that's a little off...

It may well be the official line but seriously, apart from a few exercises a year n the odd op tour most of our working life is spent in the hangar and on the pan fixing aircraft.

Torkhild - Just so you know, 90 % of your Army career as an Air Tech will be spent at Wattisham Airfield nr Ipswich (should that be Wattishame?)...

Why?
9 Regt (Dishforth) - is apparently closing down in 2008
1 Regt (Germany) - is closing down in the next couple of years
5 Regt (Ireland) - rumoured to be going Civvy
Brunei - Gone civvy \
Belize - Gone civvy - (B@stards)
Cyprus - Gone civvy /
Canada - You'd be VERY lucky to get that and is also rumoured to be going civvy

Hope you like Ipswich - If you really want to travel, then there's always Iraq, Afghanistan n Bosnia!
