ATs and ATOs & EOD shenanigans

Post Posted: Wed Jun 30, 2004 11:51 am

There seems to be a disproportionately large number of ATs/ATOs on this board, given that we are a trade of about 350 in a corps of some 11000 drivers and stackers. Also any other EOD team members (bleeps/No 2s etc). Any care to own up? I know who some of you are!

HA! Good one Rowley. Are you sure some of the No2s would be able to turn a PC on let alone string words together to make some sense?

Fair enough about some of the No 2s.

Pigsick - I happen to know that you have the alcohol capacity of a girl.

Brilliant! Casting aspersions on someone's sophistication without being able to spell it. A work of genius! Very Happy

Are we drawing a line between, AT and Dvr No 2's or are we all incapable of switching a PC on? However the fact that Ernie the 11 EOD IT mismanager, cant supply enough PC,s that dont require either a hamster or coal/water is a good reason!!

There are a lot of harsh comments in that...er.....magazine.

Some surely in jest, but some....well defamation springs to mind.

But not being in the EOD teams - who am I to talk.

PS. Are there any EOD Vacancies.

No, unfortunately I don't work in the EOD teams or any of the supporting squadrons/agencies. I have spoken to a few of the ATO/AT personnel and whilst it appears to be a fairly easy lifestyle, there is much disquiet in respect of your roles.

But maybe the people I have spoken to were just bitter.

Bitter and twisted, they don`t know a good thing when it hits them in the face. As to any jobs.....I can forsee in the very near future (hint Wink ) a cash bounty for those who turn to the AT dark side. If you can take the stick from the rest of our esteemed Corps that is.
