Anyone in it.. interested?

ive just been considering my options really.

was wondering what options theyd give me after i finish uni (ill be 23/24 then)

is that too late for a career in the raf? is it a good career or rubbish.

any thoughts welcome

erm... obviously going in as an officer...

intelligence officer seems really interesting...

but would a degree in computing be any good? or would you need specific qualifications

i have 11 a-c's and am doing a btec in IT now...

i dont want to be sponsored because then i will have no choice.. if you get me

ok.. what happens in the selection process.

p.s. could i go in as an engineering officer.. surely you would need some engineering course under your belt? i know a friend who does mechanical engineering at northumbria and its solid... i.e. the maths and science that is involved

and i still want to get a degree just incase of something else.

yeh, ive sent off for an information pack... see what it says in that.

so what happens in the selection process... ive heard its tough to get in?

hmmm

sounds intense and difficult.

how top notch does your eyesight have to be... i dont wear glasses... dont need them.. and i can usually read a bus number from a good distance away

also how difficult was part 1.

and also also.. after all that do you then do the basic training? (probably the bit id like best)

more and more i think the more i want to do the raf thing...

hope i make it

read some books. apparently you have to be up to speed with current affairs.

i was in the air cadets.. that might help.. but all that was, was just puttin up tents... so i know nothing either
