In my opinion there are no good postings anymore. And those that are good are more for detachments, and therefore not really family friendly. Most folk I know cant wait to get out but reallly struggle to adjust when they do so as too much structure makes for anally retentive individuals. Luckily I was earning more money at the weekend than I was taking home with the RAF so bailed from what was meant to be a dream job - Avionics Technician. Best move I ever made.
Just my opinion by the way and I have been military and non military. |
Thanks alot for the reply Boddie
This is what i was wary about to be honest. That the person i am will become squashed down, by nature i'll always do my job depending on what i feel is important at the time, rather than what my bosses feel is important and always question things i'm told to do if i don't think it's the right way to go about it
This I think wouldn't go down to well in a more military environment.
