Hello

Try doing a search for REME . I'm sure last year or the year before another REME SGT transfered to RAEME in townsville. You maybe able to PM them for information.

Hi Emma

It is a bit confusing. Has your husband done an expression of interest form. Very easy to complete on line. Not commiting himself to anything at all, basically send this off and the SMCA will get back to you and give you more details.

Go into the following link

http://www.defencejobs.gov.au/recrui...ants/army.aspx

Once you have this page on screen, scroll down to bottom of page. It has the smca contact address and email address. There is also an "Expression of Interest" link that you can click on.

Sorry if i am teaching you to "suck eggs" you may have already done this.....

Im no expert myself on this, just learning, but if I can help any more just get in touch.

Good Luck
Amanda
