So I am a Driver Communications Specialist, so we come under logistics, there is also Royal Signals if you want to fully focus on communications.

so for my trade when it comes to communications we're there to establish and maintain communications on a regimental level.

Okidoki unfortunately it comes under a different cap badge to me as I am Royal Logistic Corps not Royal Signals so I'm not sure on your requirements. But hopefully on the future events there will be a royal signaller in the chat room

So on a typical day we would likely have PT in the morning or afternoon, for this example we'll say morning, then we'd come back into work after PT around 10ish to then start on conducting maintenance checks on the equipment and vehicles ensuring they are serviceable, if it was the beginning of the month then we would conduct Unit Monthly Inspections so putting all the equipment into the platforms (vehicles) and test them all out. If that's all completed then we'd likely do continuation training.

When out on exercise we will be deployed with our vehicles unless we were on the ground with manpacks. set up our detachment and establish communication with everyone. We are part of the support chain so information comes through us to get supplies where they need to be.

I'm still here Just Typing :)

So if your in unit it's very much an 8-5 job each unit has slightly different timings but on average its 8 - 5, then on exercise you do a rotation with your buddy for radio stag. if your in a headquarters environment you can utilise more people to help with there shifts
