It's highly likely that the RAF recruiters would have access to the results of your PRMC application. Be open and honest about what happened during that application and why you weren't successful. As RAF and RM standards differ in many areas, you should not think that failure in one application will...

Apparently, this wasn't a common thing at the time?

Interesting excerpt from regs. My info came from ex-SB guy, now commissioned. For me (diving in civvy world only) going above an O2 pp of 1.8 is a no no. I'm surpised that SB would go down to 8-10m....certainly not for prolonged periods!?!

Most of the diving is for infiltration and done with O2 Rebreathers, so the max depth is around 6 metres. Otherwise O2 toxicity will kick in. Shallow, long and no bubbles. Other CCR rebreathers or OC rigs can be used for specific tasks, but there aren't many SBS diving tasks that involve anything mo...

Scott,

YHM.

They won't want you to list a non-aircrew/commissioned second choice (i.e. RAF Regt Gnr) on your current paperwork. The OASC process is different to the trade application process.

There is no secret. Some people do it, others can't.

Qualifications won't make much of a difference to your pay in a non-commissioned role - however, the skills, knowledge and learning experience that you gained from getting those qualifications 'should' provide you with a competative advantage. I say 'should' because promotion in the RAF depends on m...

The advice you were given was silliness.

Why take silly advice from untrained/unqualified people when you have dedicated RAF Recruiters sat around in AFCOs across the length and breadth on the UK?!?!?!?

A quick google of the internet gives you an indication. Don't worry, I've done the work for you........

It depends on whether you are a Student Officer or Officer Cadet. This difference is largely dependant on whether you are a graduate or not. A 3 or 4 year degree means you get paid substantially more as you are given seniority dependant on the length of your degree course. Ex-Airmen will also have v...

The new job is going great, except that too much tea is has resulted in achilles tendonitus and a twice weekly pummeling from a rather fetching South African girlie Physio. :-) The bad news is that it prevented me going away as an attachment to 16 Bde, but hopefully I'll be fit for later in the year...

......I haven't been paid this month! Yippee! Its not a cost cutting measure...it's an effectiveness measure....and it'll be much, much better for you....honest! God Bless Tony Blair for his penny pinching, tight arsed destruction of the Royal Air Force. Does that mean that I can take next month off...

Most non-rockape RAF guys tend to apply for the covert surveillance roles, now known as SRR. You can apply directly through PSF. There are a few guys around the RAF that have done service with them, so make some discrete enquiries and you may be able to get some first hand info. If you are determine...
