There's always one.
Many thanks, just one point to add though. I'm not bitter and twisted, the fact is that there is no career past Sgt for a crewman in the army. You don't always get flying pay, and you're limited on how much you can learn. It's strange how there is such a negative attitude towards crewman coming across from the army, but not towards a civviy joining the RAF. I know you like to think you're superior. Amazingly you're not, you just have more of a structure to your training. Most of us have operational experience, most are more than mature enough to take the Sgt rank and not turn into a plank. We also realise there is more to the job than ours, that's why i'd like to transfer. Some of us have already flown as part of crews on Chinook.
Again thanks to those for the relevant points, i'll be PM'ing those who offered for more advice.
