I see some but not all of what has gone on above. Not sure if this should be a new thread but why doesn't the army accept the training done by a UAS.

Colleauges of mine on the UAS who joined the RAF went straight to Shawbury, Linton or MELIN. Yet the army guys some of whom had completed the entire syallabus had to do JEFTS. Now that is a waste of the taxpayers money.

We were all taught by CFS instructors in lt ac and though not complaining about the extra hours. For the DE young AAC Offrs it seems to waste valuable career time that could have been spent either attached to another arm or getting on with rotary. For the E3 pilots this was just holding up promotion and career prosepcts.

Correct me if I'm wrong
