Ploddalong,
check your pms, but just as an aside, take everything you read on here with a pinch of salt. The only way to really compare it is by having done both, which some of us have. A Good Headin obviously does not have a clue what he is talking about regarding civvy controlling. (That said, some people, the likes of London Mil, tend to give an unbiased account and do not try to claim that one is better or worse than the other). On other words, don't listen to the bitchin' that goes on, a lot of it is tongue in cheek. Sarcasm has a big part to play in ATC, and an even bigger one in the forces.
Chevvron,
It's not only FCs that do AAR, either in theatre or at home.
and as Bexil says, it's not just the guys in the RAC uniforms that do mil ATC... The RN does it as well, and the uniform is better!!
The RAF was after all, formed on the 1st April 1918... surely the longest running April fools joke in history?!
Digging a scrape and waiting for incoming!!
