^^ Official "job" is something to the effect of "Aircraft Powerplant <something>" Where the something may be technician (or similar). Which, basically, is someone that works with turbo machinery (turbines et. al.).

I will make sure he gets an independent test...

------
Today we went to the recruitment office.... I basically nailed the recruitment officer on a few points, set a few things into motion, and clarified a lot.

The key point that we're concerned with now, but can't do anything about.... They can't guarantee the job he gets into - but they can guarantee his training. As written, if they don't have the training available, he can (by option) separate without consequence. It makes me angry though that they throw the term "job" around so much - when that is not the case (just training). In all likelihood, he'll be trained for this job - then be used for that job (rather than be used for something else and wasting their training resources). Alas, we can only cross our fingers on that one...


I should also clarify about my buddy in Iraq... He's still a firefighter over there (rereading my earlier post - that was left a little ambiguous)... But now he has combat training too. We're worried that once his firefighting tour is done - he'll be called back for other purposes :/
