Hi everyone. Not sure if this is the right place to be asking this question, but I've looked through the various communities and I couldn't see anything in the way of bringing together engineers who are either serving or who have left the forces. I've been out the army ten years now, but when I look back on it there was very little instilled in the way of professional development during my time in the forces. I think the army I served in was very backwards in that respect, and it would be interesting to know how or if it had changed, and I'd be interested to know if anyone thinks that this is the sort of community that would add value to the IET. I think if I'd had better opportunities for guidance in a professional sense I'd have really benefitted.
I realise that Jon... but the important thing to to recognise 'engineering excellence', not rank, not diversity, not anything else. As soon as people start pigeon holing areas we create a barrier, an expectation. The only barrier we should review and recognise is UK-Spec and encourage as many as possible from whatever workplace to assess themselves and apply.
Enough from me ... I do think I get why you raised this thread ...
