i am finally rated as an approach radar controller, passed my approach control validation today, took almost one year to get my 2nd rating (aerodrome is my 1st in 2006) which were inclusive of 8 months course at SAA followed by 4 months OJT at Satcc...... just feeling very happy & relieved that i had achieved what i want all the while, looking forward to a bigger pay cheque next month & will be waiting for my new ride to arrive in 4 months time...... =)
