Okay, after a long time deliberating I have (as of this morning) decided to apply for the role of WE(sub). When I was 16, I joined the RAF as an engineer, but after 5 years and being posted to a non-operational squadron I became disillusioned (there was no transfers available due to cuts) and...

Morning chaps, Before I get started I know there's a lot of information out there about these roles and have searched endlessly. I sent my application off the other night for the role of Mine Warfare Specialist. The AFCO has been in touch and I have to go in for an interview next week. I...
