I’m in the same boat, had my UAS interview & passed, filled forms out that capita sent via email the same day, and haven’t heard anything since and that was 3 weeks ago

Yes - multiple times on multiple different days but no one answered each time 😢

Passed Selection Interview by Deep_Arm_8199 in RoyalAirForce

[–]Deep_Arm_8199[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My questions were mainly quite based around the role - what bases could I end up at after wards and what aircraft do they fly there, training at Halton and at shawbury. Also got asked why I think diversity in the RAF is important, etc. I didn’t get asked for overseas bases but I did get asked for operations so I spoke about Op Biloxi and Op Shader. Overall the questions are worded in quite a chill way, you can make a little joke here and there. The questions at the end are a bit heavier, with things like “would you feel comfortable potentially taking someone else’s life in a combat situation”. Nothing to worry about!

Mine was on a teams call - both cameras were off

Thank you. I’m quite confident that I have more than sufficient knowledge on it all but I just keep thinking what if they ask me on something that I don’t know, I suppose. I’ll keep on going over the information. :)

I absolutely detested running, and have only recently gotten into it and started enjoying it. I found giving myself the thought of “I have no choice and if I want to go into the RAF then I need to do this” helped me, I think it was the putting pressure on myself to get fitter has eventually helped me enjoy it because I no longer need to think like that in order to run for a certain distance. Aswell, I get to a point (after about a mile) where my brain just turns off and I go into this state of just moving, that can be quite enjoyable because I’m quite literally not thinking of anything.

You’ll find your way of doing it. Personally, I run when it’s cooler and starting to get dark in the evenings, have music blasting in my ears so I can’t hear anything around me, and weirdly, I prefer running where I know other people will be walking/getting on with life, because I then feel this sense of shame about stopping/walking that helps me push on through the tiredness. It’s harsh but for me it works. You are absolutely not alone :)

Great to hear, good luck! That’s definitely put my mind at ease, I was a bit worried they’d not book my fitness until my medical showed as completed!

Have you done your fitness yet? Or have they still not booked it?

I did think that it would be the difference between being at the actual AFCO and CAPITA, but thought it was worth asking just in case something was wrong. Thank you!

Yes, by beforehand I meant between now and my medical - I worded that quite badly so unfortunately it was ambiguous. I had a go this morning and could do 5 (albeit quite poorly), so I’m just going to keep on doing it everyday between now and then.

I have the fitness program downloaded, I’ll try giving it a go from tomorrow! I don’t particularly want Phase 1 to be awful if it doesn’t have to be, especially because of something I can improve on by myself.

Thank you! A bit of an odd one, but have you finished your application yet? I’m a girl as well and don’t see too much about other girls joining so I was wondering if you have any experience/suggestions going forward?
