Surely, even though the harrier is going, A trainet AET has a chance to retrain for Helicopters?

I only ask because things out here on the outside are really tough at the mo and jobs are scarcer than an honest politician or a Lib Dem who supports Trident

The mob doesn't need indecisive wasters like you. The sooner you are collecting trolleys in a supermarket car park, the better.

Jeez.... Not indecisive mate. Trying to do whats best for my family! Again people like you know all the details already, which is amazing because I've not mentioned them on here. Maybe you should work for intelligence....or mabe not.....

I didn't post on here just to get a gob full, just wanted to sus out exactly where i stand on things.... fail to prepare, prepare to fail and all that.....

They aint totally sure what they are doing with us at the moment, thats why I am trying to cover all the angles, if you catch my drift.

I understand mate. I'd say do whatever it takes to stay in though if possible. Its bad out here and things show little sign of getting better. If there is a way to respec or something like that then that I suspect would be safer than leaving. Specially if you have a family. Not a good time to risk unemployment.

Whatever happens, I wish you the best

You've come on a website asking a question, the answer to which is quite clearly laid down and readily available from your friendly careers advisor (or DO).

Clearly you didn't fully research your decision to rejoin, otherwise you wouldn't be here asking, therefore I stand by my original statement.

Edited to add: Did it not occur to you when rejoining that it might be useful to know when you could leave, bearing in mind the fact that you'd joined previously and decided that it wasn't working out?

Ya see, thing I was confused about was if my rts was taken from the time i qualified as aet or when i was qm/qs on an aircraft type, my contract is in box somewhere and as I only recently moved house, havent been able to get to it yet. So you see, I could have asked DO but he is on leave (half term) so I was just trying to find out relevant info on a website where I thought people would be helpfull. I realise that some people on here are good eggs, thanks for you lack of help "shippers" , good ethos you got going. Oh, and buy the way, you don't know my reasons for leaving the first time and I actually got the time reduced to re-join the second time because I wanted in.... just wasnt able to the first time....thanks for jumping to conclusions
