RAF Reg Officer into SAS? What Rank??

Post by wannabe_Rockape »

I know that RAF Reg Officers can apply to join 22 Reg, after passing selection what rank would they hold, for example say a Flt Lt?

Also how long is teh max they are allowed to serve for?

As far as I know, although I don't know from experience, you would change to the equivilant army rank, or possibly 2lt (if that's not what flt Lt is 8) ).If you were coming from the army you would retain your rank if you were an officer, but if you were an OR you would be a trooper. I was also under the impression officers could only serve on 4 year terms?? anyone clarify?

yeah i had herd it was around the 3-4 year period.

After the 4 years does anyone know what happens to the officer? Are they rtu'd and rebadged as RAF Reg or what ever regiment/corps etc they came from. Must be one hell of a drop.
