When I decided to join the Army. I was a fully qualified Fabricator / Welder. I decided to join the Royal Engineers as this trade. Because I was already qualified, I was able to fast track a large majority of my trade training. With this I was not only able to get to my first unit quicker but I also got a financial bonus. In my career I have held two fabricator / welder related posts, so have had the opportunity to remain current and competent in my trade.
