REME Shipwright?

[gorillapower]

Hi all, I have looked far and wide for information regarding REME Shipwright. Does anyone know or is anyone familiar with the Shipwright job personally?

I know they get trades training and repair and maintain sea vessels, I mean is it possible anyone knows any other details? Sorry I cant be more specific, I suppose I mean, What is the day to day life of REME Shipwright like, pros and cons?

What are the pros and cons for RE and REME on the whole for that matter? I either want to be a RE, REME or Artillery.

And lastly, probably and asked question, what are the chances of being deployed to operations? Does everyone get deployed? Just a rough gauge is fine.

Appreciate your time!

Expect 18 months between tours as a general rule. Can't be more specific with regard to your chosen trade I'm afraid, I don't know, but as I understand it Govt. guidelines do still state at least 18 months between tours. Doesn't mean you always get that long, but then you may be lucky and get longer.

Does everyone get deployed on Tour? Or is it only a section of soldiers?
