Operational Armament Mechanic in Djibouti

[No one]

Dear Gentlemen,

 

The Operational Armament Mechanic is one of the specialties of the French Air Force.

 

The Operational Armament speciality is the speciality that consists of the implementation and maintenance of the Air Force's armaments.

Some gunsmiths can also become EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal).

There is a term that is more used (unofficial but very widely used) in the French Air Force to designate armorers:

Pétaf (Pyro-Électro-Technicien des Armements et des Fusées / Pyro-Electro-Technician of Armaments and Rockets).

The old name of the gunsmiths was "PétaFEU" for PETard and FUsée specialist. Which gave Pétaf.
