Weapons System Officer?

Post by n1ckg13 »

Hi, new on here so might seem a bit stupid ;)

Is there still such thing as a Weapons System Officer? Vaguely remember looking at the careers page a while ago and noticing it but now that I want to apply its no longer there! So my question is can you you join up and become a commissioned Weapons System Operator?

Thanks.

Weapon Systems Officer (WSO) was removed from recruitment after the SDSR. This was due to the fact that most A/C would be single seated and that there were already enough WSO's in the backlog to fill places.

From what I believe, you can become a commissioned WSOp, however I stand to be corrected.

No you won't. They aren't commissioning any more WSOps in role for the foreseeable.
You can have peace.
Or you can have freedom.
Don't ever count on having both at once.
