Did you want to join as a ranker or did you want to go in as an Officer?
Following on from that earlier discussion, the RAF certainly has it's own firemen, one of the directing staff on my training course (a Flight Sergeant) is from the firemen trade.
I've only got 8 more days of civilian life left :/
I like this guy's way of thinking.Andr3w said:
You're right, all the pay is the same across the services. You get variations though, like in the RAF aircrew get 'flying pay' which is a retention incentive.Chasser said:

British News From the Iraq Front
"Umm Qasr is a city similar to Southampton," UK defense minister Geoff Hoon said in The Commons yesterday.
"He's either never been to Southampton, or he's never been to Umm Qasr" says a British Squaddie patrolling Umm Qasr.
He added: "There's no beer, no prostitutes and people are shooting at us. It's more like Portsmouth."

dont yah need to be a midget to be in the raf.....ie under 5ft10!
Raikiri said:Average height in the UK is 5' 8.3"... so even if it was 5' 10" max (I really don't know) all they are asking is that your not abnormally tall, rather than very short
To become a Pilot in the RAF or RAAF(Royal Australian Air Force) Dont you need a good grades in some high level maths and and high level physics as well as some other things?
Zip said:Nothing, i was just seeing if i was eligible or not because im pretty short, 5'6 5'7
I don t have the maths or physics though
IIRC shorter people have a generally higher tolerance to G forces thus making them a better candidate for fast jets.
