Joining the Armed Forces

[R.Sparky]

Hey there, i've recently enrolled to join the Royal Engineers (hopefully) and become an electrician...

Obviously i'd be working on wide range of things, so i just wondered if any of you with previous forces experience had any idea what qualification you actually come out with? and if it's useful on "civvy street"


Cheers guys,


Ryan.

us singlies used to get picked up at the mess and driven round the ring road which circumvated the airfield at raf bruggen, some singlies would cycle this, one passenger on our bus forgot newtons laws of motion, equal and opposite reaction and the rest, and thought it would be a giggle to backslap the cyclist, result? one none the wiser cyclist, one bus passenger with a broken arm!!he he!
