Do RAF Gunners undergo a physicaly tougher or harder training regime than the other trades?

Also i was wondering how hard is the RAF and the Navy's basic training compared too the army's
Only 3% of applicants to the Royal Marines earn the right to wear the green beret.

I think they train harder in French, diving in the penalty area and refusing to accept any sort of criticism. No different to any other gunners I guess :lol:

Sorry couldn't resist.

No as long as your arms are regulation length and your knuckles are regularly scuffed from dragging on the floor you'll be fine!
