Also if i sign up for 4 years do you know how it works in terms of continuing with the service, e.g do i have to re-sign for another 4 years or do i just carry on with my service but have a certain time to let them know if i am leaving e.g have to give them a years notice or something???? |
Steady with the 'he never told me that', there are 144 different jobs in the Army and 1400 different career paths and that is only one job that you are talking about. As for Sgt in 5 years there are lots of jobs where you would have the opportunity to get accelerated promotion but its never a definate. For example the Royal Signals have a foremans course which you can take as a junior rank and jump to SSgt if you pass. The Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers have the tiffy course where you can do the same, and that not just one job in each corps but many.
To get into the Army you have to meet the criteria for that job/trade whether its phyiscal, GCSE's, A levels etc but once you are in the Army it comes down to your ability and appitude. As an example i had a female join the Army as a VM she did very well in training and was offered to change to Aircraft tech or Avionics tech because she had the ability to do well and was out performing those who had been excepted for those jobs. And it works both ways so if you don't perform you can be down graded in your job.
Its sounds to me that you haven't been in the AFCO/ACIO that long and there is so much info on the Army you wouldn't believe. I could talk all weekend about it.
