YEAR 10 pupils and brothers Andrew and Barry Raper are in the sea cadets.

Andrew wants to be an engineer in the Royal Air Force and has had this

ambition for four to five years because of his dad and Sergeant Lawler

giving him information.

The position of engineer means that you separate machinery to put into boats and when the machines reach their destination the engineer has to put them back together.

The grades needed at GCSE level to be an engineer are three A-Cs and the training given is Advanced NVQ Level Three.

Barry has the ambition to be a transport driver for the Royal Air Force.

Unlike his brother, Barry has not had this ambition for very long.

He got his ideas from his dad and his dad's friend.

Being a transport driver means that you transport troops, equipment and machinery.

There is no minimum entry-level requirement but you do have to be at least 21 years old and have an HGV licence.
