Re: Raf?

I'm currently in the RAF, and have been for the last 22 years. Like every thing there are ups and downs. I do know people who have joined late some into their 30's. Have you decided if you want to be an officer or airman. The officer side you generally need a degree of some sort, where as the airmen side you can basically walk in off the street. I to will be biased and tell you not to consider the navy or army. The RAF is by far the best, and there is still scope to travel the world, and not just to Iraq and Afganistan. I'm currently in one of the safer parts of the Gulf on a 4 month detachment, which is why I haven't commented on many threads recently, in case any one had missed me!!!
Please PM me if you want any other information, but do try your local careers office and there is a RAF web site.
Most RAF stations also have a conservation/environmental team of some sort. Good luck anyway.
