| Re: Training for the army They promote quickly as a tech to keep the pay in line with the civvy equivalent. You usually sign up for 3 years AFTER training. So They pay for your quals and you give them 3 years active service. You should leave phase 2 as a lance corpral then in 1 year become a full corpral. You then can do your class 1 trade course and get promoted to sgt within a year or 2 after. The only thing is you have to commit to another 18 months. RMP is a slower promotion but you still leave training as a lance corpral, your still at the bottom of the pile but your get paid a bit more. However as an aircraft tech there is only 3 possible postings ( i think ) So not that much opportunity to move around. Have you considered electronic tech? |
