I think you technically pass out after the 22, then the rest is what used to be the Field Gunners course, but as there are only field squadrons now it's all incorporated. Are you joining, dannywayoflife?

Cool... get down the AFCO and get the dotted line signed, you know it makes sense! :lol:

On a serious note pal, have a look here: http://www.raf.mod.uk/rafregiment/training.cfm

They've got video diaries showing the 22 week course, but the course itinerary document shows the 29 weeks, with what happens at each stage, where you have leave, etc. Also has the kit list and essential preparation which could make interesting reading even if you're not decided on joining just now. Hope that helps
