PVR in the Groundtrades
As an Eng Tec A I have submitted my PVR, I have completed 22yrs and I am now on LOS 30, I have a firm job offer, I am being forced to wait the 12months PVR time, luckly with negotiation the company are holding the position open for me.
If I was an Eng Tech P, I could be out tomorrow if it were needed. I am leaving as there are no job incentives any more, no good postings, they all seem to be going to the IT trades and coppers now (if you look at the Chief Clerks Bulletin). There is no more 'carrot' to be offered as an incentive to make people work with the added inconvienences the within the mob only 'stick' now.
I will miss the RAF for what it was, not for what it has become.
