First post from a Junglie Aircrewman
Hello all,
I just wondering if anyone has information on SAR jobs particularly when the network is privatised...
As stated above,I'm a Junglie crewman in CHF flying SK HC Mk4, getting itchy feet and looking for something new....
Any pointers links or help would be really appreciated....
Cheers

I'm ex Jungly/Junglie crewman. Flew with bast0n many times....See he hasn't changed
I know lots of the current CHC Crews on the CG Flights but as you mention the contract is up for grabs and may not be CHC for too much longer. You could do worse though than to writing to CHC in Aberdeen and expressing your interest.
Good luck with it.

By all accounts you are not only one getting itchy feet, there is a little bit of an exodus taking place within the CHF crewman cadre, have you considered selling your soul and joining your fluffy light blue cousins. You wouldnt be the first and by my understanding definately not the last.
RN/CHF are playing a dangerous game with regards manpower, considering the introduction of SAR H and a load of second hand Merlins.

Your right about the Exodus, quite a few are considering other careers,and the Merlin plus rumours of a Culdrose move could be the nail in the coffin for many....?
There is a number of issues regards CHF/Junglie (correct spelling) crewman,and many Command Personalities seem either powerless or lack the desire to address the many issues raised.
Eventually it may as you say come back to haunt them.

stinkydocker. From Truth Central;
Ministry of Defence | Defence News | Military Operations | Royal Navy Sea Kings - flying over Afghanistan for two years
Regional Command (South) readily call on the 'Jungly' squadrons because of their considerable operational experience and the aircraft's increased performance and capability, which has earned them an enviable reputation for reliability in the face of adversity.

Try to get some SAR experience and look into getting First Aid/Medical qualifications. Practical experience or theoretical knowledge of FLIR would be an advantage. When the SARH Preferred Bidder (either Soteria or Air Knight) is announced get in touch with their Personnel Department or Transition Manager. Good luck, SAR is a great career.

Cornwall would be a disaster, imagine the transits to Brent Knoll for NVG trips! The branch will be halfed as I cant see the reservists staying awake for a 2 and a half hour drive to Kernow!

Wouldn't worry about 1/2 the branch leaving, they feel like that let them go. Be more worried about OC how many AE ratings on 2OE/EC5/10 are going to be likely to move...not many.

Stinky docker!
I was at a meeting at Yeovilton yesterday with the CHF bigwigs, Squadron COs and all that - and they all agreed they are a Jungly, singular, Junglies plural - but then again you think..........................?

Jungly/Pinger it's all the same!
Only joking,
Stinky, if you are intent on going, you would be best placed talking to the junglies on 771 or up at GSF. Having served on both, they had links to onwards employ and also had ex-members as recruiters for jigsaw and now for SAR-H. You would be behind the SAR crewies going but ahead of others, so look to your timing. Most are ex-pingers, so they won't care how Jungly is spelt.
Good luck

If that is what the CHF bigwigs are discussing at their meetings then they need to get out more
