RAF Barnham woods haunted?

When I was doing the camp out in RAF Barnham woods I could swear i seen people moving about in the darkness and looking at me. Is it just rumour or has anyone else experienced this? This happened on my PGAC last week, I passed but it was still weird!!

RAF Regiment to MT Driver

Ive just passed my PGAC but have decided that a career in the RAF Regiment wouldnt be for me. Does anyone know what things i would have to re do if I went for MT Driver? Does anyone know how long you would wait compared to gunner for other trades, to start your basic at Halton? Cheers

Cheers for that advice, Ive got my PGAC in about a month. I was able to do 3miles today in 23mins which is obviously sufficient but i was quite out of breath for some reason. Would anyone know what warm up i should do before taking on a 3 miler?

Basic training in regiment.

I was just wondering is the 9 weeks basic u do before your TG the same as any other one joining the RAF would do or is it completley different. I know the TG is completly unique to gunner but was just wondering about the basic before TG.
