It's tight though, the course is now two weeks shorter than it used to be but they've not taken away two weeks content. It's all about getting us back out working sooner. Can you pass the whole thing without passing every exam then? Or is it like individual Scout badges you put on your CV? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately, it's up to your boss if you return to unit or stay until the school can fit you in to recap and resit. The school is pretty good though, they try and work around as best they can. Three strikes and you're out though. Sent back to unit and at some point, return to do the whole course if you are to be let loose on the aircraft. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghead ranter Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 After being diagnosed with a detached retina at the start of June, and having had to have 2 eye operations over the summer at Great Ormond St, one of my mini ranters has just measured a 75 on the Snellen eyesight scale, having been at 120 last week (smaller is better in this case). 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought "ranters" was a mispelling of retinas. Didn't question why you were in Great Ormond Street as a grown man. Doh Glad the wee one is doing better.

The fact that the time of diagnosis is round about the time of Dumbarton's playoff defeat and relegation to League 1 is purely coincidental. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotgun Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I used to work with a lad who kept two of the wire-haired ones. He brought them into the office once and one of them peed on the boss's carpet. A good day all round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
