Where are the postings then for the aircraft Techi?
TBH i never even thought about the aircraft Techi til i went into the army careers center and they told me about it as i had the REME in mind as option 2 as you have to have 3 options but i had vehicle mechanic in mind and they said that Aircraft techi is better paid, got better prospects and also when going back into Civi street is better paid than any vehicle mechanics but i did have RMP as my first choice but now i aint to sure as i dont know if i want to do the Techi job in the REME or the RMP! |
I was A Vehicle Mechanic (A mech) in the REME for 7 years, but left last year. Its a good job but you tend to work ALOT of overtime as there is serious issues with manpower in the trade. Good thing about being a mechanic is the postings available, every unit in the army uses vehicles so there is loads of places you could end up. You also have the opportunity to go PTI, Para, Commando, SAS if its something you fancy. As a techi I think the postings are Colchester, Wattasham and it used to be Northern Ireland but im not sure now because of the withdrawal.
