Most questions are answered somewhere on here!

Thanks I'm usually quite sharp with the googling, so apologies for the bone question!

I have ADSC on the 22nd of October, and am yet to recieve my joining instructions.

I realise there is a 1.5 mile best effort run, but can someone also tell me what other physical tests there are, and the standard required (I'm female)? Are there any situps or pressups?

Cheers

Thanks mate, well i've done pentathlete, triathlete, abseiling, running, weight lifting, aikdo, judo and ju-jutsu, so I should be ok for that section right? hmm i'm quite nervous about it though! yeah sounds good! Good luck with everything anyway, Im sure you will be fine! Remember not to be too ...

I sat my int May 24th and had my aptitude in June and then my medical in Jan.

Chris, you are a loser aswell as your new enemy Harry. Dont think i am taking any sort of sides.

at the end of the day they can offer a wealth of advice

which branch mate? Pilot or Ground Crew?

Thanks for that.

I take it you recieve a mark from the interview, on base, and then you go down to Cranwell for aptitudes and medical. And then everyone who has applied for bursary has their scores reviewed and then they're awarded to the applicants?

ok, only non bursaries go for the on base ...

sublime_envy, how long have you been waiting to get into the raf, from when you first applied.

I applied in May and got my date in Jan this year for Avionics.

Do you believe in subliminal messages? very interesting. The sound isn't very good so you need to turn it up a bit to hear anything.

What about if you sat the aptitude test to get onto your UAS do you have to do it again?

Is there no interview for the bursary?

cheers

for future reference, people hoping to do university bursaries and join a uas must complete all of cranwell selection.

those just hoping to get into a uas and apply for a bursary later just have to do the medical and aptitude.
