aye, tis easy i thought, however at raleigh bieng tiffs u get treated differently and u have harder things todo e.g maths and phys exams, aswell as english writing exams. but tis all good

when you say different.... what exactly does that mean?? better/ worse. And how many tests do you have in the extra two weeks... and don't say 14 one for every day.... that would not be amusing.

From what ive been told The only difference at raliegh for tiffs is they have too sit harder physics and maths and English tests, the extra two weeks is all about leadership training and tests. someone else put it in more detail on another posts but i cant remember which one. ive applied as a tiff aswell, had my interview a couple of weeks ago got my medical on the 5th

Have they given you any rough dates for your entry, the guy at my AFCO said he could start me in may or september and said its my choice. just had my medical but failed due too eyesight but its cool just gota go too the optician and get a new prescription and retake the eye test.

sort of, the guy said that it was more likely to be september. Which i'd prefer anyway, get some of my studying out the way. he said that due to the security-cos i've moved around a fair bit- will take ages. which are you going for as your 1st choice- weapons air or marine? I want to do weapons myself. Still can't believe they passed me on my eyesight though!! I am but a bat without the sonar!!
good luck!!

Im going in for air under the new AET. I failed my medical due too eyesight cos i havent worn my glasses for about 4 years and the prescription needed changing so ive sorted that and im going back to re sit the medical today so hopefuly i should be okay. Im going down the AFCO tomoro to ask about the all arms comando course as i would like too do that sometime in my career.
Have fun studying annd good luck
