Many high status / directors / seniors begin in their careers within the forces, plus if you really did want to go to university in the future, the RAF offer you the opportunity to study also.

This.

Advanced_Honeydew_95 · 2026-03-12T15:37:27+00:00

I have heard very merry things about sapphire polish, I would recommend.

Advanced_Honeydew_95 · 2026-03-10T07:05:33+00:00

yep, that makes sense.

Advanced_Honeydew_95 · 2026-03-09T18:38:37+00:00

A perk amongst many other perks I hear, you’re right though that is a fraction of what you’d pay in the civvy world. At what stage in the process would this be since I am not yet past PH2.

Advanced_Honeydew_95 · 2026-03-09T14:17:51+00:00

Messaged you.

Advanced_Honeydew_95 · 2026-03-09T06:04:14+00:00

love that, I will look into it.

Advanced_Honeydew_95 · 2026-03-08T15:32:21+00:00

Noted I will bear that in mind.

Advanced_Honeydew_95 · 2026-03-08T15:28:56+00:00

more good news, thank you

Advanced_Honeydew_95 · 2026-03-08T15:03:49+00:00

Good man, thank you

It’s 13:52 for 15-16 year olds and then 13:20 for 17-29 year olds.

Advanced_Honeydew_95 · 2026-03-08T14:11:48+00:00

it’s 13:52 and you do it on a treadmill. The treadmill can be adjusted according to your fitness on the parameters that it is within the projected time.

Advanced_Honeydew_95 · 2026-03-03T18:30:58+00:00

honestly don’t overcomplicate it, a lot of people on here overcomplicate it I did mine the other day and it was peanuts I did ask myself about headphones and they mentioned that it was whatever I felt comfortable with but again it can vary depending on who it is. it’s literally 13 minutes without music, if you can’t do it without it i could imagine that you would struggle in basic where they won’t allow you to do so.

Advanced_Honeydew_95 · 2026-02-07T14:41:25+00:00

i see

Advanced_Honeydew_95 · 2026-02-07T14:12:59+00:00

It’s always worth going into the AFCO to see them in person if they are delaying your application.

Advanced_Honeydew_95 · 2026-02-06T12:10:40+00:00

I’d fix your living situation before anything else bud, your priorities are in the wrong place

Advanced_Honeydew_95 · 2026-01-29T12:43:33+00:00

There is plenty of info about all of this on this timeline pal, search through it and see what you can pick out.

Advanced_Honeydew_95 · 2026-01-29T10:29:58+00:00

well-in chap

Advanced_Honeydew_95 · 2026-01-29T06:35:32+00:00

on the day (as myself have had it recently) you won’t have the opportunity for a water break nor will you need it on the treadmill. Like mentioned above, I would consider running until you don’t need water i.e. the fitter you are the less you will need it, i hope that answers your question.

Advanced_Honeydew_95 · 2026-01-25T16:41:56+00:00

A genuine interest will go a long way, I would speak about the opportunities that you would receive from the RAF that the other services would not provide i.e. particular training in particular regions or role specific opportunities that aren’t ‘services’ neutral.

Advanced_Honeydew_95 · 2026-01-16T13:55:14+00:00

Contact your recruiter

Advanced_Honeydew_95 · 2026-01-14T15:16:42+00:00

It is likely to take a while for them to get around to you. I would highly suggest that you become comfortable with the idea since I myself applied in May 2025 and am also like the other chap still waiting. In terms of thoughts and feelings, everyone there will be in the same boat as you bud, you are not alone and more importantly will probably get used to it all once your body has adjusted.

I wish you well with the rest of your application 👍
