wannabie ALM !

Q - Why are Loadies keeping their own brevet when everyone else is changing theirs?

A - So Navs & AEOs can still laugh at them....

[Always_broken_in_wilts]

Atb,
Not sure if it's true but I heard the reason we are keeping our ALM brevet is because we are the only fast growing single "wing" trade left. We are still currently in use on many RAF types and seat/crew positions are being put in place for us on future aircraft.

So rumour has it that as there is no need to fudge trade boundries in order to get shot of us cheaply they have decided to keep us just the way we are...it's great having a future

all spelling mistakes are "df" alcohol induced

I thought they will always need AEOps?

I must have missed a change, but I thought it was only air engs. that got to keep their current brevet and the rest of us would all be badged as WSO in the future. Or is this Friday night ***********? Not that I'll be changing, I'm getting very old now and am already practising at sitting in a corner of the crewroom, smelling of wee.

If you've already got it, you don't have to change it. As of this year all AEOp and Nav graduates will be awarded and have to wear the WSO brevet. For the rest of us it is optional.

another x pongo

As an x pongo who has not too recently completed the transintion from green to blue Iwould suggest speaking to as many people who can deal with the money side as possible, and make sure any information that you are given is in the good old black ink(photocopy 100 times and place in secure vaults etc, etc) as 3 years latter i'm still being paid by the unit the money issues still raise there head every time the personalites change in p2 and the black ink keeps coming out over and over again.


As for the work it's easy and great fun.
