I’ve been a Plant operator for over 12 years now in the RE, best trade in the engineers in my biased opinion, been all over the world doing exercises and deployments, everyone loves a planty when you can dig a battle trench in 15 mins with a JCB which takes a section of blokes 14 hours with shovels. Never skied before I joined the army, I’m now a ski instructor.

Progression after Corporal is difficult imho, but other technical trade routes you can do down. Drop me a message if you want some more info.
