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.
Thanks for the comments guys. Interesting to see the Navy and Air Force perspectives. It would be interesting to see how the Army is comparing. My last posting was on an RAF camp and I dealt with the RAF a lot during my resettlement and I think it’s safe to say we had very different experiences of the transition process. It would be good to know how things have changed. I know I missed out on the free degree program by literally a few weeks!
It might be good to know what the bigger picture is to know what sort of things would be beneficial- I’ll put the feelers out in LinkedIn, that might be a good place to start.
