raf regiment: got to serve 9 years?

Post by gjd1986 »

my mate got told by his AFCO that if you go into the RAF Gunners, you have to serve 9 years before you can come out...tried looking on the raf website but no luck.

is this true? ta.

Either 3 years full time, 6 on reserve or 9 years full time.

Gjd below is a cut and paste from the FAQ section of the RAF site for you

How long do I have to commit for?
Once you’ve completed your initial training, you sign up for a minimum length of service. This will vary depending on your chosen job, but normally it’s between six and twelve years. This might seem a bit daunting at first. But in practice, many people stay in their chosen civilian jobs for the same amount of time as people who work in the RAF. In return, you get job security and a chance to train and progress in your chosen career – that could mean doing a whole variety of different jobs
