Prodest days? Once you leave you feel far more free than ever. The bullshit addles your brain and the drain in your morale is unbelievable. They make you think that you cant survive if you ever leave... YOU CAN!
why do people like this guy think they know it all? Bollocks is what i say! my brother in law is in the RAF at halton, but i dont shout about it! and i meant "this guy", as in scubadoj
The proudest day of my life was the passout parade, The people chosen to serve were those not necessarily already with some of their trade skills but also, maybe more so due to their willingness to lay down their lives for their country. In a time when many people unfortunately choose to attack the beliefs of this country it should be recognised that these young men and women are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice that will defend their right of free speach. Real heroes!!!!!!!!
Good luck with regards your futures. Most of you will resign within 3 yrs. After 9 years about 2 of you will still be serving. After 18 yrs about 1 of you will 'survive'. About 0.8 of you will reach a full 22 yrs service. good luck.
Ohh and to answer Andrew279144's comment, they only use the inside drill hall if the weathers rubbish, so yes it was probably raining/snowing or whatever. Did mine in January and it was bloody freezing!
As parents and relatives, the passing out parades are to give those very individuals who manage to complete their basic training our appreciation. There are no prouder people on the parade ground then the relatives of the Royal Air Force men and women.
As parents, we suffer their pain as we listen to them in tears on the phone as they are pushed to breaking point, but then as the journey continue we see and notice remarkable changes as these young individuals are changed into men and women with the up most discipline who work as a team, a unit is born that is ready for any action be it humanitarian or military within minutes.
Over this period of time they will be pushed to their individual limits, limits they did not realise they had. Many will fail along this journey; only the strong minded individuals complete this basic training, it's what makes the RAF the best force in the world.
The above video footage is not a cadet scheme; it is the Royal Air Force passing out parade, although I personally believe cadet schemes are very good for young people to learn discipline a word many young people in the U.K lapse. These young men and women have to complete a gruelling 10 week training course which is designed to break them.

The best training gives you the *SKILL*! The RAF only take the best of the best, the rest belong to civi street.
