I met a few of "your types" in Split/Bosnia about 9 years ago. Chatting to them over a *cough* few *cough* beers was what got me asking about job specs back then.
Pretty much all word of mouth from what I can gather to get a job, and even if you did a few training courses you'd meet the vicious circle of not having experience to get work in order to get experience etc.
Then being ex-RE isnt exactly a "sexy" previous army job for that line of work on the CV.
Couldnt be arsed to go down the 9sqn or 59sqn route either
