Looking into a transfer to AC

[BDM]

Hi guys,

Early stages but I'm looking at a move to aircraft controller, I'm a MESM at the moment so don't know what the chances of a yes would be anyway. Don't dislike my job at the moment but im looking into this branch and it seems like a good option for me.

I'm going to try and arrange a visit to rnas Yeovilton and look at the training complex they have.

Do you get any submariners moving across?
What's the training process like ?

Would it be worth me going to careers office seeing what info they have ?

Cheers
Bdm

Or as a member of the WAFU skill set he is trying to get his 26 hours a day rack time

For Aircraft Controller, the only useful bit of literature that isn't on the RN website, that your AFCO has to Offer is the Flying Aptitude document issued by Cranwell.

From a pragmatic standpoint, I'm guessing you've completed your 5 years on boats and thus eligible to transfer, assuming your branch manager plays ball. In addition, I'm hoping you've vectored-in (see what I did there?) a significant drop in pay, the significantly higher proportion of shore to sea ratio associated with promotion and the fact you'll be paying food & accom charges if living on/in board for a large portion of the remainder of your career?
