Ok thanks. Sorry, I was just abbreviating Weapons Systems Operator to its bare initials.
I'll have a chat with they guys at the AFCO when I go down next week, thanks.
And sorry for re-posting, I joined about 3 minutes before I posted, I guess I should have done a search as it is common etiquette on most forums.
I've got my options open, if there was one aircraft I'd want to work on it would be a Chinook simply because they're big and loud.
But I don't believe I get a choice...
Cheers for the info anyway, and I'll have a look at some older threads. Though the ones I've seen so far have said exactly what you guys have said, I don't think I've gone back far enough to find a thread where someone bothered to post the answer to the question.
As for directed questions... I really just wanted toknow general info, like where you've been based, what you've done etc. But to avoid more pedantic grumpy "tirades of sarcasm", would anyone like to take a moment to answer these?
1: How long have you been in the RAF as a WSOp?
2: What detachments have you been on?
3: How often (roughly of course) are you moved to a different place?
4: What's the best thing you've got to do during your time in the RAF?
5: What's the toughest, most challenging thing you've had to do?
6: Do you enjoy it?
7: What aircraft do you work on?
8: What is the main role of this aircraft and what do you have to do on an average day?
I'm sure I can think of more if you're that bored.
Right, off to search some old threads and read up.
