Hey guys, just thought I'd drop in and say hello, that's if you remember me Tongue

(Oldies should Smile

) Just wanted to give you guys a little update on how my training is going in the RAF. I'm really close to the end of it now and am due to graduate in September. As of next week I'll be doing around 3 weeks of consolidation exercises for everything I have done throughout my ICT Technician course. This involves setting up radar and radio communications in a mock operational environment, in other words camping out in tents with rifles and pressing buttons Smile

We'll also be maintaining servers and setting up routers, switches and other devices to create some sort of network, where our instructors will come and 'fault' it, and we'll be expected to fix it (hopefully) Tongue

Last week I found out I'll be posted to RAF Leeming which is in North Yorkshire, Northallerton. Not sure if any of you UK guys live near there? Not entirely sure on the job I'll be doing here but this is the place where our trade (ICT Techs) are trained ready to go on operations like Afghan, where we'll provide and maintain communications for the people out there or similar. I'm sure it'll be an experience Tongue

Last weekend I was at RAF Fairford for the Royal International Air Tattoo helping out marshalling and stuff, anyone go to that by any chance?
