When a young grunt mistakenly calls an NCO 'Sir', the NATO standard reply would be...

"Don't call me 'sir', i work for a living".

You had to be there.....

That's the wrong statement to make, being a budding AT Controller !

Anyway, i'm off.

Well, I'd rather the planes go straight over my head, as an ATC, rather than anywhere else...

We're NCO's though
Not until you pass training you aren't.

Well she's more than a little correct, isn't she? I don't see them paying you £24k yet after all.....

You'll earn being an NCO if you pass AAITC etc. Walk before run!
I think some of you are taking me a little to seriously.

I've been around a few blocks and I have enough years in me that tell me exactly how to act and what to expect, you know.

Found this when I searched the forums. A good bit on info, now found out I might not be able to apply for IntO, fltops, FC or ATC. Need to get a recent prescription to find out!

By the way, Nicky did that phone number I gave you work?

hey Mike, thank you for the numbers, just logged on and copied them down, i'l let you know how I get on,

Thanks!!!
hi just a little bit of extra information on wsop(l) i came back from oasc obout a month ago and while i was there the careers officer told me that they only had one position for wsop(l) this year and none next year, not sure if that has changed because i have been found acceptable but am hold until january subject to competition but whilst you are there you can add further branch choices right up until your final interview so just thought people might like to know because i know if i had known before i went i would have looked into other branches a bit further for a second choice. unfortunately i was under the impression that the places were there and you were either acceptable or not so i hadnt really looked into anything else. i dont want to dishearten anyone from applying i just that it is quite dissapointing to find out that you do reach the neccessary standard but you might not get it because there are no places for you.
Have you not looked into WSOp Cmn or EW/A ?

There's places available for these, if you qualify.
