    A career as a signaller

    I can moan about the job, as much as the next person. However, it's paid my wages for 25-years, so it can't be all that bad. As a relief I like the variety of locations I work.

    A career as a signaller

    You're welcome. For example, my base roster is 8h 30m. I am base rostered for four days most weeks, and a couple of five day weeks. So on a four day flat week I'm being paid for time I'm not at work. Obviously, it isn't so straightforward, as the hours are averaged out over the week. Note: this...
