    hiya mate, no probs. sorry its took me so long too, been a bit busy tho..ive decided to go for it and applied yesterday so just waiting to hear from them now...really looking forward to it now to be honest. thanks for your advice, its mostly what i was thinking anyway regarding fitness (no probs there) and letting the bull**** go over my head, again no probs there, i'm good at that, prob an age thing aint it? as far as the young lads go i reckon i'll be ok there too, ive just trained my cousin up for the army (he passed selection yesterday) and i also spend a lot of time with my bro who wants to be a fireman (i'm training him too) and their 17 and 18 year olds so i should be fine...how long does it take to get in? how long am i looking at realistically...thanks again for your help mate.

    Thanks for the links again, they helped me see things clearer. I have a few questions about the training (I'm not sure if it's called Basic Training as it is in the Army or has a special name, I saw a bit about it on the RAF website but it didn't mention anything that about things such as the swimming test etc.), I hope you don't mind, it's just it'll help me out for when I actually go to the AFCO. What does the Swimming test entice? The reason I ask is because I can swim, but am just not particularly great at it. Is it similar to in the army where it's 2 laps of the pool and tread water or is it bound to be a bit harder what with the Regiment being 'elite'? Also is it optional as to whether you can apply to be one of the airborne of the RAF Regiment in training or are you required to perform to a higher standard than most to get the opportunity (I forget the actual terminology for it)? I'm sorry that I've asked a lot of questions, but I'm visiting the AFCO next Friday and don't want to seem as if I don't know a thing about the job to which I'm enquiring. Thanks alot.

    Hi, thanks for the information regarding the RAF Regiment it was very helpful. I take it you're currently serving, yourself? One question which I'm a bit fuzzy on, if you will, is what is the earliest age at which you can join up? It says on the RAF website that you need to be 16 (or 15 and 9months) at least for the Regiment, whereas it says in a careers booklet I was sent by my local AFCO that you need to be 18 or older. Would you say that you spend a lot of time 'stagging on' or do you get plenty of chances to go on patrol and interact with the locals or get outside of the actual base (while on operations)? Thanks, this is much appreciated.
