Hundreds of young hopefuls have started an intensive training course at RAF Halton in Buckinghamshire. Over the next two months theyll face tough challenges - physically and mentally - to see how far they can go in the Armed Forces.
@Graffiti731 Well, that's what the first few days are for. To weed out the unsuitable recruits. At no point in my training or my career was I ever in a position where I couldn't contact my family or friends. It's a good career choice if you can hack it. If you can't, go elsewhere. Seemples.
@Graffiti731 in fairness you did 10 days not 9 weeks, so you cant comment on what its like after 10 days. I dont think anyone going in expects it to be easy but if you want it you will do it!
God i remeber being there 14 years ago, one of the messes was closed due to a cockroach infestation. Best decision i ever made still love life in the RAF. Oh and the CS gas chamber it sucks i wont lie to you its not comfortable but it proves the gear your issued works. besides the effects of cs gas only last a minute or two and then its over, its the one and only time in 15 years i have been forced to deliberatly breath in cs gas.
i find it interesting how everyone is ost worried about the CS gas, my step-dad went through it along while ago, and he says its really nothing to worry about, its really not that bad, but until i go through it myself soon, ill stay skeptical lol
@rustyjames761 um in australia the maximum age is 53 for the defence force so i would assume being a commonwealth country that its the same
