I was L Tech TC DTC44.
TCW 11 12 81SUs and JCUFI. I left back on the last free cash and run. Believe me when you get out, the training you got takes you places and gets you good jobs.

My RAF training along with civilian pre employment course got me a Bachelor's Degree certificate when I moved to the States. Try the phone companies when you get out, I went straight to Vodafone which was more like the military than the RAF ever was!


A degree just for showing them your F4820 and your vodafone ID?
Sounds like the degrees I get offered in my email, did they give you a penis enlargement too?

Newbie to the goat here, so I will add myself to this little TG3 love-in !

Started as an El Mech (T). Fitters course saw me become an Eng Tech El. Then assimilated to CIS Tech, which quickly became ICT Tech. Who knows what we will be called next week :pDT_Xtremez_42:
