Special Ops

[sneaky beaky]

Just a random thought - but why would the RAF be involved in "black-ops"?
The only thing that I can think of, is an RAF helicopter picking up an SF team from a precarious situation! That would not necessarily be a "black op"!
And to be quite honest, I don't think that the British SF do any "black ops.". This government would not allow it!

If you want to do black Op's the best thing to join is the Police. They seem to have a shoot to kill policy.

If secret / intelligence things is what you want to do check out the MI5 / MI6 websites and have a look at their recruitment policies, even GCHQ. I don't know an awfull lot about an RAF Intelligence officers job, but i do know from the sounds of it, the career path wont suit what you are looking for.

Maybe I'm biting here, or I'm going to flame for no reason. However.....

1. With your level of spelling, grammar and general grasp of the English language I seriously doubt that you're at uni.

Can I second Dannyd's comments? If you're serious about applying to the RAF then you'd best do a spot of spill chocking on your posts and written work. If you fill your paperwork for the Armed Forces Careers Office (which is where you need to go) out like that, you aren't going to stand much of a chance at getting to OASC - the assessment centre. However if you do, ask the AFCO to arrange a visit to your nearest RAF Station and to put you in touch with their Int Officers, if they have any. I am sure that they will rapidly disabuse you of any misapprehensions about Int in the armed forces ....

Im in the RAF as an Int Analyst (imagery) and although most of my time is spent on the internet or training, you do get some interesting tasks now and again. Also, my experience of Int Officers isnt great, the name and the reality are two completely different things. You wouldnt do too bad joining up as a normal rank and then go for commision later on when youve got experience.

hope this helps you out mate. just dont expect james bond.

P.S. hey all, ive just discovered this website today so hi everyone

All of the above, and also if you want 'black ops' just stick to playing Socom navy seals for the PS2 mate.

i dont know who it was but some1 said summit like our country wouldnt be in black ops.. this is loada balls,b4 the gulf america and all its other allies were thinking of how to get into Iraq and Kuwait and thought it impossible, the british representative replied erm.. weve been there for 4 months. TRUE

Also it is a known fact that the SBS found Osama Bin laden , and when they spoke to their American friends and asked if they shout 'Take Him' the American replied no and that it should be an American kill and by the time Seals got in Osama had left, however i am not 1 bit slating the U.S so no patriotic replies please , personally i reckon hes dead the u.s did fine job of bombing afghanistan and theres no way in hell if he was there he aint dead, keep up gd work fellas

[supatanka]

ill look its bene in papers and all sorts, news of the world daily mail they had statements from 'unidentifiable' sources

[Stu-]

lol, news of the world?

trash paper just like the sun, tho from the wirral you should know all about the sun paper and its lying dirty shite

[supatanka]

why would being from the Wirral help lol?

well i belieave it true,

but anyways to the point of the RAF taking part in black ops, i have known of Regiment soldiers in Black Ops,

[Stu-]

well, being from around the merseyside area i thought you'd have heard the sun isnt exactly a distinguished paper

goes back to the hillsborough tragedy when the sun wrote awful things about the liverpool fc supporters. ever since then the paper has been basically out of circulation

the news of the world is a sister paper to it.

anyhoo, black ops? sounds like a CIA term from the movies

how about just covert operations? that sounds better

[supatanka]

LOL AGREED!

[hc00]

My first answer to this thread was a bit derogatory so I supposed I should clean it a bit.

Anyways.

Supatanker. Maybe you should keep your mouth closed about stuff you have no knowledge about?

Instead of 'correcting' a former SBS soldier about the way the SBS operates.

Got there before me HC

Perhaps you could educate me by telling what military trade sCC stands for in your profile Supa? Because surely you wouldn't put down your occupation as Royal Marine Sea Cadet Corps on this site and then spout bollocks to real soldiers?
