-{SpoonmaN}-'s post got me thinking about a career I have been looking into myself, however as yet I have not been able to talk to anyone because when I went down to my local careers office the sodding RAF guy (who I was told to talk to) wasnt there :(
I have been thinking about the forces for a while now, and have actually started a fair amount of training even though its very early stages for me.
One job I am very interested in is Forward Air Control. From what I can work out this is carried out by the RAF Regiments TACP's and the Royal Arty.
What I am looking to find out is:
A) Is this a role that you can join as right off the bat?
B) Has anyone here has any experiance working in or with such a role?
C) Any other info really on what the role involves. I can more or less work out the basics, get on the radio, tell Pilot boy to drop bombs on X Y and Z (more detailed than that I know), but is there more to this role?
