Yeah but I'm glad LOL. I can't wait to do my test, and fingers crossed, pass it!

I was wondering if under 18's can be sent to a war zone? e.g Iraq. Because i know you can be deployed but can you be deployed to a war zone?

Well im going to join the RAF Rgt (hopefully) and I was wondering even if your under 17 do you still get your driving license? Or do you not get it till your 17? So legally you cant drive but the RAF has your license? Or isit a special military license which says you can drive while on duty only?

You got that wrong end of the stick i dont mean the RAF SAS i mean the RAF Gunners :P I believe its referred to as the Regiment, and by IF i mean if i pass, not if i decide. Thanks HCR :) Oh dear......I suggest a visit ASAP to your nearest Armed Forces Careers Office. Ex-RAF Regiment II Field Squad...

Sorry, but why are they called mudguards? They dont look anything like em? Are you a wind up merchant or what? They look like old fashioned motorbike mudguards when viewed side-on. Ahh yeh i see now..no i am not a wind up merchant but people on here seem to be very intolerant of simple questions.
