Just signed my life away.
 

Yesterday I decided to go to the RAF careers office, and ended up signing up for the Informations and Communications systems specialist trade. I have my initial exam on 3rd March (alot of logic, maths, electronics etc), having passed this exam, I will then go for an Interview and then a Medical, having passed both of these I would then go for my final selection interview and then be given a date for my basic training.

I should be able to pass all interviews and exams pretty easily but was told I need to put on 2 stone. cry: . I already eat alot but no matter what i eat I never put on weight, so i've been recommended to go to the gym and get some protein drinks.

Good luck. Hope you do well. And remember whenever you're in doubt in combat always follow by this principle:

"Run away so you can live to run away another day"

just goto harvester everyday

how many pounds is a stone?

and good luck..... beer:

About 14 pounds to a stone.

After playing CoD:UO, I have a new respect for the RAF. cool:

go to the gym and work out. muscle weighs more than fat so that will definently help.

Yeah, because COD is so realistic.

Another fly boy! I joined the U.S. Air Force back in November. I should either be getting an Intelligence or Weather job, we shall see. Anyways, good luck with that. +1 for the right branch! biggrin:

Yeah - i'm going to go to the gym and sign up for around 4 months.

Are you going to be enlisted, ro do you want to be an officer? Also how long is RAF basic training? Is it very tuff?

Intelligence job Duke?

Well ofcourse, surley that would not suprise you ladies.

oOo:

Shh, your messing up my plans. Don't worry Navy boy, you will be part of them.

good luck mate i was in the RAf as a prop mech ahh the fun in training lol.
Is basic still done in halton? Its a good life mate beer:

And fluffy i have a sister in the RN so rock:

Basic Training is at Halton, it lasts 8 weeks (I think) It is supposed to be pretty tough depending on how much effort you put into it (and how physically fit you are)

The hardest part for me will be the running and all the physical side of the basic training. I know what to expect for drill and shooting so that should be a breeze for me!

Besides all that money for ME!!! biggrin:

Pay is pretty shit for the first few months but once I've been there 1 year+ I'll be loaded. I get time off for doing fun stuff like skiing and pretty much every y adventure training activities available (at a very cheap cost too) happy:

My Basic is 6 1/2 weeks long. It is more mental than physical. I can't wait to get it out of the way. Last night I had to go to Commanders Call, and we study rank, and practiced facing, saluting, and attention/ parade rest. We alos ate some good ol' pizza.
