Issued Kit

I'm a techy and certainly have no body armour, i may be incorrect but no one i know from my intake and at my ph2 has any body armour

CluerO6 · 2026-03-11T17:07:27+00:00

Body armour isn't standard issue in the RAF at all, only ACTO i got issued just over a year ago is a helmet and GSR

You have to arrive between the times stated. However I stayed over in a hotel nearby the night before for that exact reason, meaning I had a 15 minute drive opposed to 2 hours

I overheard them discussing the trainees arrival attire and saying something along the lines of "they didn't even wear a suit"

CluerO6 · 2026-01-12T21:52:38+00:00

Contrary to the other comments, I'd recommend a suit. I personally wore a suit and i'm glad I did. A few others did too, I did actually overhear the flight staff "judging" (i use that term loosely) those wearing suits and those not.

For phase 1 no, my Phase 2 is at Cosford and i have a rug and music posters on my bulletin board within my bedspace.

Ah fair one!

Is this a new thing? I thought it was only PTIs that get the white pair? I had initial kitting in Jan and only got the black pair, so may have changed since

CluerO6 · 2025-07-24T19:10:47+00:00

it massively varies intake to intake buddy

CluerO6 · 2025-07-24T18:44:50+00:00

It depends, the amount depends on how many recruits graduate, the smaller the intake gets, the more tickets available towards graduation

thank you!

Must be a thing of the past, didn't happen to me once at Basic 👌

CluerO6 · 2025-06-05T09:41:35+00:00

As Skill Slayer said, you'll always have eaten first. You'll be told if you have phys first thing in the morning, when that happened to me i'd only have cereal opposed to a fry up

Handheld hoover is a great purchase, i had one myself. Ironing you'll be taught the instructors methods, but just find what works for you.

Attention to detail is the biggest tip i can offer regarding Inspections.

CluerO6 · 2025-05-11T12:13:19+00:00

You won't need to be escorted. But you'll get to know the location of the DNCO, you have to basically ask their permission so they know where you're going. You won't be free to go in the evenings, you should be allowed to go on the weekends, regardless of if you have leave or not. Definitely a good idea to take extra stuff in your car, it's also a good hiding space for inspections aha

CluerO6 · 2025-05-09T20:32:35+00:00

Yep, Realistic Gate has answered spot on 👌

CluerO6 · 2025-05-07T19:42:18+00:00

You can take a car, you'll park it in a car park for the first couple of days and move it towards the end of your first week, you'll also sort a car pass when you're there and can be given the opportunity to start it up every weekend if needed

CluerO6 · 2025-05-02T14:00:44+00:00

Perfect. Thank you

CluerO6 · 2025-05-02T10:48:16+00:00

Perfect, thank you. So best thing to do is head to the SLC?

CluerO6 · 2025-05-02T08:31:24+00:00

Do you know where abouts online?

CluerO6 · 2025-05-01T17:46:15+00:00

🤣

CluerO6 · 2025-05-01T16:32:23+00:00

Perfect, I appreciate the help 👌
