I have recently been on the RAF careers website and a lot of trades are in urgent need of personnel, included RAF Regiment Gunners, Weapons Crewman and even a few of the officer positions. I’m guessing this is a simple admin cock up because it seems the RAF are in need of quite a few applicants at ...

Oh right, cheers for that.

Its all a bit sad really. And just a general question, can you be done for impersonating an officer or soldier?
