alrite mate, im in my trade training as an amm at the minute, and ive not heard any stories about getting stuck refueling for 5years and being bored! they are probably just raf rumours, of which there are many.

as with regards to the competition for the job, when i joined there was practically no ...

Hey just wondering if anyone else is starting RTS this wednesday?
if so are you looking forward to it? etc

unlucky on your AST mate just make sure you revise hard for the next one because if you miss out on this one then its 6months before you can retake it again.

as for gonig in at 16.. its not a bad thing to do, especially if you hate the idea of gonig to college.
however im going in in a couple of ...

hey,
they take your blood pressure in your medical so if yours goes up when ever you see a doctor etc then it may cause problems. however im sure that if you can prove that it is normally at a good level then i cant see it being a major issue. although how you'd prove it was usually normal i dont ...

theres a post on here all about it with a very detailed insight mate, have a look around for it as its pretty much spot on.

coops

most people do it around 6weeks before they go to RTS, i was there last week and its six week until i go in.

however, sometimes there may be occasions when they send you with more than six weeks until your RTS start date.

hopes this helps, any other questions about RAF feel free to ask

hey, thats the trade im going in for.
what did u think to PRTC? i enjoyed it but there was way to much waiting around!
how did u find the fitness tests?
coop

unfortunatley i cannot help you, but i do feel you pain as i also have a dickie knee and have passed medical no worries, but wonder if when i get to Halton ill get thrown out.

try ringing your local careers office, they will tell you all you need to know about how the living arrangements work.
however this may have a little propaganda thrown in as well so mabye also try routing around these forums trying to find alreadt serving members who live in married quarters etc ...

yep that helps alot thanks brett, what trade are you going for? and when your intake?

they are all on the RAF website, clearly marked on a map with a key telling you hwat each one does.
it might be on the careers section of the website though, im not to sure.

cheers for the advice brett, just out of interest what is the pre conditioning course?

you will also have to be amazingly fit, meet loads of requirements in terms of height, eye sight etc. know absolutley loads about the RAF and be very intelligent and get through one of the hardest selection processes in the military to become a pilot.

Good luck with your application, coops.

yeah but two too three months is a reasonable time, so id defo take a week off the cardio and do some upper body and core excercises or even just some non impact stuff. ive been training for the RAF now since about last august. And im not going until until 19/08/09, which has meant ive been able to ...

im joining the RAF and im 18...so not the best person to comment however, there was a lad who went to my college who finished his gcse's last summer and is now in the RM though i dont know enough about it to know what lymbstone is.... hope this helps, coop.
