    Probably RLC, if they have not changed their name yet again.

    We should remember the tremendous contribution of the Queen Mother to the war effort:
    As the BBC pointed out, she 'bravely remained in London beside her husband' during the war.
    This contrasts sharply with the actions of my grandfather who, on the declaration of war immediately left his wife and children and pissed off, first to France, then North Africa, Italy, France (again) and finally Germany.
    The shame will always be with us.

    That's quite true. However, amongst our many skills and talents we don't actually deal with fuel

    But then neither do drivers, because that would require doing 2 things and that's beyond a driver's capability.

    To the OP look at Petroleum Operator.
    Play Torn - the online RPG many other ARRSErs are playing. Sign up using my link (below) and you will be well looked after.

    It still cracks me up that driver is classed as a trade and that somehow they still exist. The RAF could learn a thing or two from the driver trade about how to con people into thinking you actually matter.

    Perhaps the RLC could have trade called 'Person'.

    Cue lots of threads like
    "I'm going to be a Person in the RLC, can anyone tell me a bit more about the trade?"
    and
    "Which RLC units have Persons?"

    Nice one SD. Didn't see many AT's on Op Sabillian in 2000, where we were driving civi fuel tankers during the strike (or on Op Orderley, the Foot & Mouth crisis or the Fire strike). By the way, Pet Op's do not drive fuel tankers.

    Physiologically, the buttocks enable weight to be taken off the feet while sitting. Many cultures have also used them as a target for corporal punishment, and for some cultures they play a role in sexual attraction.
