Skills/qualifications as an ET(MESM)

[306dturbo]

Hi all

Just wondering whether as an ET(MESM), would you be trained in areas such as fabrication and welding?

Or if anyone has information on the qualifications you gain, obviously I understand it depends on the length of you career but the basic ones you get to be able to do the job?

Thanks

It used to be one of the streams for General Service, I did fabrication & welding on my "Hull" training as a Petty Officer but I don't think it would necessarily be a submarine stream - happy to be corrected on that by one of our submariners.

We normally carried at least one who was qualed in welding, we do (or always used to) carry welding equipment.
