Yeah agreed Go for 1 Regt while you still can...But it's not unheard of a B3 Airtrooper turning up at 657 Sqn for a first posting!

If you get 657 Sqn then your quids in....Best sqn Ive served with by far...

Whatever just enjoy it....Remember its what YOU make it.

Go for what you really want to do, I know its a long time ago but I went for a 3 year posting at 7 flight in Berlin that was on orders after having only been at 3 regt Soest for 8 months and got it, stranger things have happened, put down 657 sqn.

Off topic slightly but interesting nonetheless...

Neither flying squadron at 5 Regt has any groundcrew but both have aircrew SSMs - a FW crewman at 651 and a Gazelle driver at 665. Is this the shape of things to come?

No, but it should be.

665 SSM has been an aircrew appointment for a long, long time.

Hasn't been for at least four years. I think all SSM posts have been tied groundcrew in AAC Regts for some time. That's why 5 Regt looks a little unusual, although I think I like it.
