fitness test

[newbie]

Hi

I really want to join the RAF so i want to get my fitness upto scratch, im reluctant to go to the AFCO and fill in the application form just yet because i dont want them to turn round and say my fitness test is in 3 wks. Does anyone know what sort of time scale it takes from initial application to the fitness test???

right ok,

how quick did you get your iterview, the reason i ask is that i really want this and dont want to ruin my chances by not being fit enough

when i look back to when i had my fitness test i was sooooooo unfit when i did it but honest it was pure determination and the will of wanting to be in the raf that got me through, if your just going got aircrew its only a mile and a half on a tredmill

i been hearing how long it can take to get in too, over a yr for some, i hate waiting around, i just wanna get in there and do it lol

IMO the PJFT is really easy. i nearly went flying off the treadmill because i wasnt used to running on them and still done it under 10mins hehe
