Jayc530, don't get your knickers in a twist. It IS relevant to the military forum. When I said that you should get licences, I meant it. Not to leave the service, but to take any worries and pressures of service away. You can enjoy your military career more, knowing that you always have a plan B. You can pursue the fun postings, rather than the career postings, always having that plan B. I did a freaking excellent 24 years in the RAF, but my Avionic and Piloting skills always had Plan B.
Did I mention Plan B?????
