But in the 2007 OASC guide, it says the swimming test takes place same time as fitness testing??

Hi all,

OASC is rapidly approaching now, my fitness is up, ive boggled my mind with god knows how many speed distance times and read more current affiars than i care to mention.

But, im not the strongest swimmer, and was wondering if anyone could enlighten me as to what the RAF Swimming test ...

I believe that the regs state, that hair must be off the collar at the back, and clear of the ears.

It flew over US ground troops and they didnt shoot it down, im speechless

And the amarillo one wasnt??

Ah yes, just found a story on it, they wont realise her because of the UKs "incorrect attitude" refering to the fact the UK are sure they were in Iraqi waters.

I do beg your pardon, i knew what i meant
Yes, quite right, you do apply as a WSOP, but as stated, they then stream you.
Sorry for any confusion, was just thinking of pilot route because i wanted to be SAR pilot, but learnt this was not something you could simply apply for.

To be able to speak any language on the planet by slowing what you say and speaking a lot louder.

The inability to accept that Fish and Chips is not a worldwide concept.

Can any one explain why these people were boarding ships unarmed,

Dont forget, as has been mentioned above, that you cannot simply apply for SAR. Your suitability for different roles is measured, you may end up being streamed into fixed wing aircraft, and never even touch the rotary wing stuff. So just remember, you apply as a WSOP and they branch you off into ...

Hi all,
I know very little about this book, other than it concentrates on the extremists located within Britain, terrorist cells etc.
It looks to be quite a good read, just wondered if anyone has read it and their views??

PLEASE tell me you've seen the Navy's version of Bohemian Rhapsody?!?!

Hi all,
Im soon to be joining the RAF, and my Gf of a little over a year is joining the RN (God knows why.... :lol: ).

Anyway, after speaking with some other service personnel, they seem to think that to carry on the relationship would be extremely hard, due to the fact wed be stationed all over ...
