- Tell us about what you do
- Well I have not yet started to panic but have been recently retrenched after 11.5 years with the same company. I have worked mostly in the 2 way radio industry for the last 32years since I left the army. I was in the Rhodesian Corps of Signals as a regular soldier for 16 years. Had some command experience and very thorough training in all aspects of radio comms. I also did instructors courses that equipped me to instruct and I have been able to do so off and on over the years. Now the field is jumping and I cannot continue even though I touch-type.
- What companies or organisations are you with?
