Here's one guy who swapped his 'easy life'
RAF Photographers on the front line
See now I'm really jealous - I'd love a photography holiday like that!
I'm guessing that you have to be TG14 to volunteer for that jolly?

Sorry only TG14 Photogs :
Rats foiled!
i'll swap - you can do an EOD tour of Basrah/ Al Amarah and I'll go take piccies? Sound fair? you get to blow things up and everything!
I think you'll find us photogs "blow things up" on a daily basis already LOL

Explains it all now....
Don't suppose they'll let me re-trade....

Not a real Photog, then..?
True. I found the whole experience so surreal, I'd do it over again. But for more pay.
Never wanted to do 'G' work but had to in the end.
There was a time in the not too distant past when all "real photogs" were ex-air anyway and it didn't seem to do them any harm.

Not many 'Real Photogs' left, sad to say ::/:
I always looked at Photo G's as being cravat and staple belt wearers. Not the sort to get their hands dirty
DT_Xtremez_28: But life change when I married a WRAF Photo G, my plan was to increase their gene pool. I think it worked.

People label real photogs as cravat-wearing artistes, and thats supposed to be an insult?! Their job is to be creative, they have the satisfaction of seeing their work published all over the world in newspapers, magazines and websites, and the best thing is they have a proper job to walk into once their time in the mob is up! Wouldn't you like to get paid to do your hobby for a living?
If the answer is yes, you'll need to learn the following in order to pass the final photog exam...
I must say, my personal favourite is the 'Trone d'amour'....
No? ...I'll get my cape.
Stagecoach for 1 please!

Going in for your 1250 photo will never be the same
Don't joke about it - the Photog at Colt was clearly bored when he took mine many years back - ended up with an "arty" black and white shot on my passport with me looking off into the middle distance....
Thank god it runs out next year so i can get a new one!
