Many thanks for previous very useful comments.

Yes, it's an RJP visit and I've just received the joining instructions with timetable etc. Took the AFCO a long time to sort it out - lots of faffing about on their part including three different cpls ringing me up to ask which station to issue the rail warrant from.

I agree that it would be useful to meet people with E3 or 1ACC experience. But I'd also like to meet up with some of the NCOs as I'm sure their slant would be a bit different. As much fun as dinner and drinks in the OM is, I'm there to work out whether FC beats ATC for me - a bloody hard call!

People seem to begrudge 'bunker time' from what I've read/heard: is it fairly typical to spend tour after tour in a CRC?

Many thanks,

Ratpup
