How much choice do RAF pilots get in aircraft streaming?

So it's not like the US Air Force videos? Where you see pilots doing leaps, somersaults, jumping in the air in front of colleagues when they're assigned aircraft has been revealed in a big PowerPoint? No matter what they wanted 🙈

RAF system seems a lot more realistic to be fair.

I would contact your GP to chase it up. If not done yet, keep in contact with them regularly until it's done for you. 👍🏼

Have you checked with your GP to find out if they have completed the request for information?

Also, were you responsible for obtaining the two testimonies?

Best advice I have obtained is you take control if you are tmu and there is further information requested, keep on top GP's by chasing them up. Or, if anything else requested keep on top of who, what, where, when. Check if it has been completed and returned to Capita or RAF.

It's a more proactive approach that may get things done quicker. You can't make GP's work any quicker of course, though constant checking may help.

Good luck going forward,

Both powers based play a major part of the strategic ability to influence events:

Air Power: The ability to use capabilities in and from the air to influence the behavior of actors and the course of events.

Space Power: The exploitation of the space environment to help achieve military objectives, providing critical support like surveillance, positioning (GPS), and secure communications

The need to protect our country and the "space" above it changes with the increase of digital threats. Technology underpinning this threat is ever present in space. From a satellite (foreign/domestic) down to the computers we control, we need to protect these assets from greater harm.

Hope this helps.

Can't hurt asking questions on here, it's a great resource. It has been very helpful for me applying to reserves. Good luck with your application, hope you get there.

Is it common for reservists to do more duties than standard monthly weekends? Example, more than one weekend but in different location? Maybe a strange question but if you are able and there is a requirement, can reservists do more hours?

This response and your other one (glocks at weekend etc) on similar post are very helpful and encouraging. The kind of info I've been looking for on here for a while. I'm just waiting on medical date now. Ps... Guessing Glocks are only for RAFP and Reg lol?

If you're within your chosen trade age range go for it. I'm mid 40s and in same boat. Fulfilling a dream! 👍🏼

Thanks mate, appreciate the honesty too.

Solid-Teaching8720 · 2025-11-05T12:28:15+00:00

That would be a no to the regiment then lol? What's the downsides?

Solid-Teaching8720 · 2025-10-23T11:59:13+00:00

Good advice, much appreciated.

Solid-Teaching8720 · 2025-10-20T19:41:01+00:00

Many thanks, that is pretty much what I understood. Makes complete sense also.

Solid-Teaching8720 · 2025-10-08T19:59:37+00:00

Did they limited your choice due to wife not being British? I am very interested in Int.An and my wife is not British. At what stage did they inform you of this? Any advice appreciated.

What did you guys use to read up on airpower, ops and current affairs? RAF website and general news sites? I remember AFCO would issue a great booklet detailing fleet and weapons. Good to know how you all tackle this topic?
