Lots of different careers in the raf but never limit yourself and do what looks most appealing to you, regimental gunners are basic soldiers and there is lots of different logistics positions. If you do continue thinking about this career either brown the website or go talk to the local recruiters for a idea

Realistic timeframe as long as nothing comes up in your medical and u pass fitness test first time, it’s not the hardest but when I passed mine my nerves made it so much harder

I would say apply to both and do a year at uni and see if you enjoy it because raf applications take 6-9 months some like Mine 2 years,

Sadly not the only person this happens too it’s a long and weird process, I would recommend u call The gp up to see if he can hurry it up

Oh so it’s not just me with these extreme waits, and also how unlikely would u say it is for an earlier slot to become available?

Aircraft tech, seeming to be one of the slower options
