Soldato
I'm looking at moving from my current role into the RAF. My medical clearance should come through in the next few weeks, I am getting fit (ish!!!) and am about to sort out physio on a littl calf problem I have.
My current job is a graduate trainee with HSBC. I'm the assistant manager/business specialist in my branch and kinda enjoy the role, but not the carp that comes from above. I was recruited to bring new ideas etc in but things have changed to the level that they want brown-nosed little toads who say "yes sir" to everything...
...anyway, I am a qualified (degree level) musician and the RAF have four vacancies in my field. Pay is similar (slightly less but not much) but the pension blows my current scheme out of the water. Retirement age is better and there is a chance to see the world. However, there is the fact that promotions are less frequent, by some way and musician is the only trade you can't sign on to as an officer.
RAF Halton for basic training doesn't sound terrible, not as bad as it could be certainly but nine weeks minimum of £175 a wek pay would be challenging to say the least.
So, anyone in the RAF got any words of wisdom.
Am 25, nearly 26 by the way.
