Hi all, I am thinking about re-mustering into ATC as an officer and have a couple of questions for the floor before I finally decide. Firstly I was wondering as to whether they are likely to re open the branch any time soon. I have a fantastic job offer in civvy street on the table when I get back from Herrick at the end of this month which I would not like to turn down unless I have a realistic chance of applying with only 12 months left to serve. Secondly, I hear on the good old RAF rumour mill that OASC haven't been selecting ex rankers for commissioned appointments for various reasons. Finally (sigh of relief from the crowd) I was at Sandhurst for 40 weeks after 10 years in the RAF but my platoon said I just wasn't Army enough ( I didn't see the point of shouting to get my message across and I was too RAF apparently) and my Colour Sgt said I was a lovely bloke but just not infantry enough. Will this adversely affect my chances in this time of severe cut backs? I have been told to apply by my JengO and the Sqn Ldr but I would like to know the availability for the near and medium term future of recruitment into the branch before I give 100% into applying for it.
Thanks for reading and I look forward to hearing from you all.
