Air base visit

[supporttheforces]

Hi,

My son has been encouraged to visit an airbase by the local AFCO as he's looking to join the RAF regiment. Some pointers would be appreciated because the system appears to be less of a well-oiled machine than I'd hoped. The AFCO told him to contact a base direct, he did and was bounced back with the message that he should arrange it through his AFCO. Left hand and right hand appear to be strangers and all that. I'd be grateful if anyone is able to short-circuit this silly game of ping pong. The AFCO seems to be operating a mental go slow.

Meanwhile, this is my first posting, so it may well end up in a dog's backside in Cairo rather than being read by someone. If you can help please shout up.

Best wishes and sincere thanks to all who've served the RAF.

You smooth talking person DT_Xtremez_19:

I can't help but I'm sure somebody will.

Contact either the Community Relations Officer at your nearest camp or more preferably, contact the OIC RAF Regt Sqn at the nearest station which houses Regt, explain about your son and arrange a visit that way.
If you're near Honington in Suffolk let me know, a mate is a Sgt training young rocks there and he might be able to help.

I spoke directly the community relations officer at Cottesmore. I would recommend going there if you're not too far away from there.

I got tagged on with a college group, they showed us round various areas/trades. This included a presentation and Q&A on the regiment

The contact details are on the webiste...

Good Luck.
