Hello mate

Although there is a risk. you are likely to never see a real fire. Was talking to a big fat Flight Seargent. He has never had to put out a proper fire in 20 years. He looked like he had spent 20 years eating shite!

Not trying to put you off but not a lot happens. You just get very lazy

Hello mate

In my 5th week of basic training. You don't need to train in another trade if you want to be a PTI. You will go in as acting CPL but not earn Corpral wages for a while. It is however a better and higher paid job than the regiment.

Would go for it if I were you but you need to be fit. My ...

Hello bud

I would definately apply now to do whatever you can because you are not getting in this year.

Recently had my final interview and got accepted and they said that only 1400 peaople will join but 100,000 will apply.

Just do what ever they tell you to do. It's a long process, took me a ...

Mate

You've got the final interview to go first (although it's on that day). I would be worrying about that more than just thinking you are going to sign papers and get a kit list.

Your not in yet!! That was the hardest part of the whole process.

Seriously though, I've just got a list of stuff I need before I start my Basic training. Can someone tell me what I can get away with?

What are trouser bungee straps. Do I need an Iron? Should I buy new trainers? Do I need to wear a suit on my first day? Not making demands from anyone but any help ...

Just had my final interview and got accepted. They told me that you cant change jobs once you are in.

They also said that 1400 people will join the RAF this year but 100,000 have applied. Wouldn't hold your breath mate.

Good luck anyway

Cheers chaps. Suppose if I've made the wrong choice I can always change after a couple of years.

Chosen to be an RAF Supplier. Does anybody have any more information on what this job is like. I was told at my interview that you never piss of a supplier because they can get you anything you need.

Not the reason I chose the job but still looking forward to it. Any help would be appreciated ...

Best advice I could give is relax and have an early night before the test. Don't know whether you can fail it although some trades might not be available if you don't get a high enough score.

If you want to be a Tekki, suggest you learn a lot about electrics as that bit was the most difficult for ...

I changed my career choice after a conversation with a Supplier at the AFCO.

They don't mind at all in the early stages so long as you persue what you have chosen after the AST. Wouldn't worry about it mate.

Hello All

I've got my Basic Training start date as a supplier at RAF Halton for 31st May 2006. Still got my final interview in a couple of weeks. Can you fail this or is it just to do your paperwork etc. What other information has anyone got?

Cheers
