Somewhere close to a college, so you can learn how to type in English instead of semi text perhaps?

I see what you mean Gem; his post is riddled with text speak :PDT_Xtremez_42:perhaps you might now offer something more constructive.

When I can understand the question, of course I will:PDT_Xtremez_14:
 
To answer your question, I would go for a big unit, Brize / Marham or go to Odiham or Benson.

I'd say the rotary units as they are very deployable, the amount of experience you gain is great. Working under pressure in an operational environment if you are good at your job you'll shine.

The bigger units are great for getting experience in many sections, if you get the chance to move around. Not that I have ever served on a big unit such as Brize.

Best of luck with which ever unit you choose!
 
Dependz wot u want. F u want tents/CS95/dets then JHF at Odiham or Benson. F u want 8-5 an most weekends off, go for an FJ MOB and work in SCAF!

Loving the text speak Stax! :PDT_Xtremez_14: Is you down wid da kids now? Brap, brap!
 
Doesn't matter where you go chances it will be closed soon anyway...sorry to be negative but it's shrinking fast. Don't be put off by somewhere like Leuchars though if you don't get down south, it's what you make it.
 
Brize all the way mate, was my first posting and you can gain a good solid knowledge base to build on.
 
Benson

Benson

I thought Benson was a great little camp, busy but friendly and because of its compactness you got to know a lot of people. You cant go wrong there, and theres plenty of interesting sections to work. Hope my grammar is ok for all you clowns that have nothing better to do than pick up some youngster bout his spellin.
 
But seriously Brize is moving to the future with new planes and becoming a huge transport aerodrome, so you would get some real XP there.:PDT_Xtremez_30:
 
I agree, Brize would be perfect to earn your third prop and give you a solid grounding. Then after a couple of years get your OOA out the way and then volunteer for Akrotiri (3-yr posting) and leave on promotion - sorted!
 
Think Brize is a good start then once you have finished there get yourself onto TSW. Good to do it while your young and you will get plenty of OOA experiance and its probably the best place to build up leadership skills (IMO). Get an overseas if you can as it doesnt look like they will be around much longer.
