Hi all
So I left the RAF 4 months ago. (PVR). Since then my circumstances have changed a lot and I want to rejoin. Civilian life isn't working for me. I was in Logistics. I applied to rejoin, but was told my old trade (Logs Mov) was overmanned. I had been in 7.5 years as a regular as an Sac and 2 years prior to that in the Reserves.
Civilian life really is difficult and I live in an area that is going to be hit with big Honda job losses soon. I feel that I need stability and need to go back to the RAF, as that is what gave me the most fulfillment.
I have been told the list of alternative trades that I can consider, given my old trade is full for the foreseeable future. (Can't see how, the lack of staff was a reason why I left!).... I really like the sound of Air and Space Operations Specialist. As a Private Pilot in my spare time I think I would really enjoy this trade. I am off to the AFCO to sit the AST for this this week.
Doea anybody know what the AST score requirement is currently for ASOS flight ops please?
Can also someone please give me advice as to if I will keep same rank and pay, despite going recently back in to a different trade?
Will they extend my old contract or give me an extension?
Thank you for your help.
