Isn't the Flt Ops Training School also known as Failed Other Training Systems
?
Yes, very tongue in cheek, but if you are in BSN get down to JAG and speak to the MAOTs - Mobile Air Ops Teams. They are Flt Ops and do some of the more interesting stuff with the helicopter force. If you are less interested in sitting in a FJ ops room sorting maps
and would prefer to get out and about, possibly getting out on the ground, going forward with Army units who need someone to set up HLSs, act as de facto advisors / liaison for RW use etc it is an interesting job.
A chap I know went down the MAOT route after a few years on sqn. After years of making tea (badly) he found himself doing the Infantry Platoon Commander's Battle Course at Brecon and came home from theatre 6 months later with a couple of extra holes in his smock that definitely weren't part of the manufacturer's spec and a MID for his troubles whilst attached to a BG. As with all branches and jobs, some postings are crunchier than others, but if you want to do something a bit more hands on rather than commission into Handbrake House or Blanket Central you could do worse than Flt Ops if you don't wan't to / can't actually fly.
