Hey guys, as I have posted before I have my RAF selection test today.... WHICH I PASSED 
, the top mark you needed to get the "hardest" ground trade was 68... I got 67 
... to do my trade which is communication and information systems specialist you needed 58... I aced it !!
(By the way it’s not a percentage or out of 100 or anything, just an over all mark)
Anyways to the problem.
I spoke to a Corporal who gave me my grades etc and we discussed what happens next, basically my trade is currently available and recruiting!
He said he would be able to get me an interview next week and if all goes well I would be starting my career in the RAF by December January
!
The only thing is, i'm still at college doing a btec in software development that doesn’t finish till may/June next year, and I don’t get a qualification until I do the full 2 years.
I told him this and he said that it is completely my decision what I do, but if I put everything on hold until then, and come back that it proberly wont be available to me anymore and I could end up waiting 6-12-18-36months to get in which really is far too long
So what do I do? I really want to join the RAF and abosolutly hate my course at college but I have put a lot of work in so far (getting merits and above).
Some people have said to me I won’t have any qualifications but GCSE's if I drop out, but when i’m in the RAF I will gain loads of qualifications including Cisco’s.
If I do decide to go in now I will still stay at college up until the day I go in just in case they turn around and say there is a problem with my medical etc.
Would you go in in January or finish college then possibly have to wait a year or more to go in?
