ok plain and simple Gen Tech Ws is your man with his hands on the machines, drills millers welders and the like for the fabrication of parts and repair of a/c and any other bits not readily available.
also a very very small trade with a draw down thats been going on for years and making some great guys very bitter.....btw i'm not one just know loads.
Gen Tech M is the new Uber Ground tradesman........ok he's a jack of all master of none but you'd want him helping you out on det if he's good at his job as they're fixers bodgers and will manage to scrounge, make or *******ise to get you what you want if they can.........btw i am one.
I joined as a Gen Tech Gse many moons ago and have just assimilated and got my Mt tech implant. about time i say even though many dissagree, its good stuff.
the new GTM is a cross breed of the GSE tech and MT tech having to learn all the ins and outs of MT and GSE, dirty work it can be and we get to visit all the lovely dets all over the world every 12-24 months.
A lot depends on whether your mechanically minded like **** jobs for little thanks...except the Sqn's will love you if you fix their kit with minimal fuss when they break it
I have travelled the world worked in mainstream gse (hyd rigs, genny's etc)
i've worked on radar, air conditioning, and now i'm fixing Mt vehicles, it all depends what you want.
It can be hard work rewarding work pain in the arse work it all depends where you end up and who your bosses are like anything else.
just remember if you do it it's 18 months at ST Athan......
plus there's only 1 entry this year and its already in training.
another plus is we're not the poor man of the techy world any more its all a level pay 2000 playing field now
hope it helps i'll check back if you have any other questions.
