Hi everyone,
I'm new to these forums and just looking for opinions and advice.
I was successfully selected for the British Army and began phase 1 training in March 2017. At the end of my 6th week, I decided it wasn't for me because I wasn't enjoying myself and didn't feel motivated. I have now put this down to a lack of self believe/confidence. I had good reports and was told I could pass the course easy if I put my mind to it, but my heart was set on leaving.
Since being back home on civvi street (and the fact I'd have been passing out this Friday coming), I've realised I've made a huge mistake. I'm not sure whether I'd choose to go back to the Army, but I have definitely considered the RAF.
I was just wondering if this is quite a common thing for RAF recruiters to see? Also, because I discharged from the Army in training, does this go against me?
The only doubt I have is that if I didn't enjoy myself during Army training, will I enjoy the RAF's basic training? I know it's 4 weeks shorter and I'd have been more than halfway through it.
Thanks
Paul
