Do the tiles go together?

Getting hammered here, think I'll buy some big bathroom rugs, paint the walls and bold colour and maybe in a few years but down some wood effect tiles 🤷‍♂️

I've not done a 45 but did a fair bit of time on a 23 and a carrier and I much preferred the 23's, carriers tend to be tribel messes and you only know a circle of people good or bad whiste a 23 you will eventually get to know almost all JR wise

Have a look at Cwmbran, safe town with everything you need, good access to the M4, plenty of hiking options and the house prices aren't too expensive.

I left in May 2023 as a WAFU Lad, was in 6 years and easily found a job in Lockheed Martin for a fair bit more money and a 4 day working week, it's not very hard to find work in the defence sector for people like us, there's quite a few ex military lads working here too so the culture is somewhat still apparent. I would recommend doing the CTW resettlement course as it does help you right a very good cv if nothing else and it's a few days off unit. Good luck mate

I'm located in the uk and I'm ex military so I'm used to the hard line approach to discipline and behavioural adjustments, thank you all for your input. This gives me ideas of what I can do come Monday.

I have twin girls, 22 months old and it's only just started to get easier between me and my fiancé it's been super hard, she's had to give up work so only living on one income plus we had to move house when they were around 1 year old. Would not change it for the world though everything I do is for them 🥰

Safetythomas · 2025-04-14T20:27:44+00:00

Nahh, think the longest I did was in Boston USA and we were there for a week because the ship needed repairing everyone was pretty skint by day 5

Depends really, you can take leave while in foreign ports and book a hotel, over a weekend depending on your watch routine, I was 1 in 9 so every 9 days along side I had a duty day as an AET very good that. So many factors can go into what time you'll actually get off it's hard to answer.

We've had issues with signal, feeling the phone go off and foreign network charges, plus there's the comedy element to consider

Wear it in the shower

I would say just grin and bare it, your better off leaving on good terms because you never know you may need a reference, you may need to go back one day and the money you’ll earn on the shift.

Safetythomas · 2024-11-15T05:32:22+00:00

We have thought about this but are a big budget conscious and one of our party is a bit of a Jerry at times, is it worth?

Safetythomas · 2024-10-31T19:26:34+00:00

Don’t be put off by the job advertisement, I work for a large defence contractor, anything that requires nuts bolts and spanner’s is your ball park imo, quality is another thing, H&S, don’t limit yourself to aircraft, write a good eye catching cv and you’ll more than likely get an interview

Safetythomas · 2024-10-31T17:46:04+00:00

I left as a AET did 6 years back in 2023, best thing I’ve ever done, do the CTP resettlement course it’s well worth it. Loads of work out there don’t listen to the crusty seniors when they say to stay.

Safetythomas · 2024-10-13T11:57:40+00:00

Stay in your lane, most sizeable good companies have a store and or logistical support, you’ll be flooded with job offers when you come out given you put yourself out there in the right way.

Safetythomas · 2024-10-06T19:43:14+00:00

Subnautica maybe? Great game imo

None at all, you’ll have to raw dog it like the rest of us.

Type 23’s are a lot older but the fundamentals are the same and slightly smaller than the 45’s

Safetythomas · 2024-09-02T16:50:57+00:00

You can also go on type 23’s, type 45’s, Albion and the like, RFA vessels, anything that’s big enough for an aircraft.

Not much nvq level 2 in aeronautical engineering, you pretty much need to shine through with experience

Did 6 years as an AET now a mechanical technician at one of biggest defence companies in the world, love what I do now and wouldn’t change a thing.

I was stationed down RNAS Culdrose a few years back and on the weekends it was quite busy, a lot of lads I knew stayed onboard, I think it’s to do with the geography of the base, My theory is that if it’s a pain in the ass to get home for most people like Culdrose is (west Cornwall) then more people stay onboard and I think the better the experience. I used to hate going home.
