New guy here... looking at being an AET.

[AaronP]

Hey guys,

Well, my dad has been an aircraft engineer for the past 35 odd years, both mechanical and avionics, a civy though.

My step brother recently passed out as a Marine.

So, i was looking at becoming an AET as its a chance to get into the trade and Navy.



Was hoping to hear peoples experiences, plus's, negetives if there is any. Just peoples general opinions.


Im off to the careers office tomorrow to have a chat with someone.

just remember 8 about till you die!

Eh?

 

[AaronP]

Any constructive replys out there?

not a bad life as a AEM or AET as they are called now. As with any job take the good with the bad and piss off all the fisheads who hate WAFU's as were all good looking bastards (stand by for abuse from the seaman branch). Good range of aircraft to work on and now foundation degree if you make it to the dizzy heights of PO/CPO. So have fun and apply

Such a shame you couldn't have hung around a while longer matey, we could have warned you off about being like your father. No you dickwad, I don't mean steer away from AEM, I just meant, well, be a real sailor. Like anything but an AEM. :lol:

Good range of aircraft to work on ................

Oohhh, you make me fcuking angry. Name one of the twats, and don't for goodness sake say a Harrier. Bet your into things like, oh, I don't know. How about a Lynx, or the Merlin.

Aircraft, I don't think so. The Seahawk left the Navy years ago and it could do a far better job than any of this modern siht, in fact the Gannet was a low and slow, but that was a genuine article in its days. Whatever happened to 'think ahead and prepare for the future'. Probably got lost in the past, along with a million other things and fat fcuking politicians who died of over payment.

Sorry wings, bit shtity tonight.

Calm down Seadog. I know its a glorified HND but i dont work for the education department who brought in those renamed HND's to make them sound good

Fleet Air Arm, best kept secret about the RN. 21 years and only 4 years Sea Time, most of that spent front line stuck on an air station or swaning of to the States by air.

Now stuck in East Midlands working with the Crabs. Fluffy uniforms and top food.




All I can say is!!!!


YOU TAKE YOUR CHANCE WHEN YOU CHOOSE YOUR BRANCH!!!!!!
