Long story with the swap but apart from EOD, enjoyed the Army much more, should of stayed in and missed out on the conversion to Chally 2!
Stint in IT after serving, now back on a RAF camp doing BCU (Airfield Wildlife Management\Bird Control Unit) preventing bird strikes. Had your P8's in last year, got one P8 in without incident having had to fire 15 bird scaring carts to get her landed safely when the 'gulls' were moving across the threshold at dusk!
