The Forces...

The Forces...

reet... ive seen a job advertised in the RAF, im thinking about applying for it but im not sure what id be letting myself in for...

im not sure whether i would have to sign up? the job is an environmental technician and they pay is very very good...

the forces really does sound like my worst nightmare.. so just out of interest whats it actually like?

Re: The Forces...

depends what you join m8, some require unreal levels of fitness/discipline.

It's a great life if that's what you want to do, I really enjoyed myself.

You don't always get the job you applied for! My mate trained to be a fireman for a few months and then on passing his exams got told there were no jobs!?!?! Offered him either admin or driving, so he told them where to go.

ur best bet is to go down to the careers place in town - they'll tell you all you need to know.

That's right, you always need to complete your basic training first. Then apply for a specialisation, you don't always get what you want. I failed the course for my first choise, got my second no problems. Your a soldier/sailor/airman first...specialist second.

Re: Re: The Forces...

thats me fucked then

think the job is more of a field/lab based position at raf bases, its an international post too..

the job pays big bucks, i just dont really want to leave newcastle right now tbh.. :think: grr..

Word!

I thought you had to be trained properly though for any jobs in the forces. You may be sent tp a war zone, etc, so I would imagine you would be needed to be trained up like a soldier, etc!

regardless of what you do you still have to do basic training... my cousins are training to be stores accountants in the navy but they've still had to go one big fook off runs and such like, and as far as im aware, it aint easy.

i joined the army......and left......reasons, i missed my home life, everything about the army was great tho, even the fitness was class, you may think it sounds shit, but your that fit you feel really really good about yourself.

give it consideration, and if it wat you want go for it, your not signing up for life and have all your basic training to decide if its for you before commiting, and if its not for you, quit, its no shame at least u gave it a go.

i did, enjoyed it, and id say i learnt alot about myself in process including things as simple as i know if i want something i can get it, and from the physical that can be applied anywhere when i thought i cudnt ru anymore i cud, it was just i was mentally weak, but pushed through and did it....all a matter of perserverance.

id reccomend it to anyone even if just for the experience

I never knew you were x army m8

only got to the end of my basic training and decded at that point in my life it wasnt the careear move i wanted so quit,

but later in life id certainly give it another go, maybe another 5-6 years down the line

Its hard to imagine little Aaron running around with guns and things :laugh:

Toy guns maybe!! Them rucksacks that they have to carry would probably be bigger than him!!:laugh:

its not a gun its an assault rifle

I can just imagine people in Iraq seeing you coming towards them. They would kill themselves from the fits of laughter they would be in, 'here comes the dwarf army'!!

im gonna go try find a picture of me in full cammo with my bergan and sa80 i was scary little bastard i tell ya if u saw a dwarf running at full pelt managing to carry a rifle and a bergan twivce the size of him growling and snarling it'd scare the shit out of you

fair play, I'm only 5 ft 8 and I used to be in the Royal Marines. Big blokes ain't always the best soldiers

As for the SA80 you would scare them more by throwing stones

Now your using it numbnut,


Word.

probably get more accuracy aswell

I'm alllowed because I'm The Offical Promise Greeter!
