Last monthʼs winner of a cheque for £250, plus a six-month subscription to Quest is Warrant Officer 2nd Class Steve Pascoe. He has served in the Army since 1989 and is currently specialising in SME for turret and weapon systems in DE&S, which involves, he says, ʻproviding technical support to the field Army with regard to the turret and weapon systems within armoured fighting vehiclesʼ. Currently based at Abbeywood in Bristol, he has served in locations including Canada, the USA, Kenya, Northern Ireland, Bosnia and Iraq.
He plans to start his ELC scheme in January 2010 in preparation for leaving the Service in mid-2011. While serving he has gained the following qualifications: City & Guilds Mechanical Engineering, HNC in Mechanical Engineering, Junior and Senior Military Certificates, health and safety qualifications, DSE assessor, computer literacy, acquisition and project management qualifications. On top of these, he also plans other study before he leaves the Forces, commenting ʻI want to expand my project management and logistic support qualifications, as well as my engineering drawing qualifications.ʼ When he leaves, he says, ʻI want to join a project management team in south-west England, or an engineering design team as a draughtsman. After that, I am aiming for anything in engineering management.' This is an area to which he feels particularly suited thanks to his Service experience: ʻI believe I can use the experience I have gained recently at Abbeywood to launch into my new career.'
As only a recent subscriber to Quest, he was delighted to discover that he was the winner of our cheque for £250, and says he would 'without a shadow of a doubt' encourage other readers to send in their own completed questionnaires to Quest. ʻI did it to gain the six monthsʼ free subscription and ended up winning £250!ʼ Well done to Steve!
