As much as I respect Magic Mushroom (and I do!)
he is neither Non Commissioned or NCA!!
I remustered to NCA from groundcrew at the age of 30. I know how hard it is to do what you are planning. Ignore any one who says join up and if you don't like it PVR. That is the worst thing you could possibly do.
And I am not bitter, indeed quite the opposite. I now work for a civilian company who treats its people as their most important resource. I have seen the light from both sides and I urge you to consider very carefully what you are doing. Go visit the stations, see for yourself and speak to the guys involved. Most NCA will give it to you straight.
Good luck, you will need copious quantities of it if you go down the NCA route!!
