Yeah, just wanting some opinions on the JHC in its own right and how people view the role of joint operations. I am basically doing a talk on the future of JHC and could do with a bit more about the actual 'jointary' of it rather than just about the use of helicopters, as it is obvious that they ...

Hi all, I have a presentation to deliver as part of my training on JHC. I have some info and a route I wish to go down, but I would like some opinions on 'Jointary' in the armed forces in general and also within JHC itself.

Any comments would be much appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

Oh well ...

Hi ellie,
Sorry to hear that.

I did my AST in June this year and was told then that the PTI branch had stoped recruiting as they had enough people to fill the next few courses and vettings.

Does this mean that they are stopping the vettings aswell??

I wonder how long it is going to take for them ...

Good luck mate,

Let me know how you get on and if there are any changes to the programme that the afco's haven't said about.

No tips for you, sorry, I havent done it yet!! Just stay cool and good luck.

Awsome thank's a lot.

HI, just wondering if someone who has recently been on a pti vetting can tell me if goggles are allowed on the swim test?

Thanks a lot.
