The best place to develop given a chance
It has been a very short eleven working years at the SAAF. If it was not for this organisation I would not have the experience and opportunity to work on the most advanced technological equipments and having to learn how to use various test equipments.Í have as an electrician,avionic technician, mechanic, instrument mechanic on and off the aircraft and have learned a lot from that. The people are always easy to work with and I enjoyed traveling to different places or bases to work around the country.The only challenging aspect is having to work far away from your family for some time.
Pros: Great opportunity for promotions only during the lower ranks
Cons: The amount of work you do and years of experience does not relate fairly with the salary
