Hello,
I am considering applying for the RAFP and would like to ask some questions regrading a career with the force, I am posting here becuase I would like some informal and honest feedback from individuals who either served with the RAFP or have experience of them.
1) The qualifications required for the RAFP do not surpass GCSEs, I have GCSEs, A Levels and a Degree, I have no problem with this and yet some people have said I shouldn't bother and should consider other sercurity minded roles or the RAF Regiment. I figure I could still go in the RAFP and work hard to progress up the ladder, reaching a high level in there? Is it common for Graduates to enter the RAFP like this? Does it really matter what qualifications people have? Would I stand out from the rest of serving RAFP Personnel?
2) What are the specilised roles like? I am quite interested in pursuing something like the Tactical Provost area, and short notice branches. What's the level of training like, is it accessible and what other deployable roles are there?
3) Do the RAFP generally serve across the world? Or are they in practice more likely to be based in the UK?
4) Is the same academic and adventure training open to RAFP as other branches of the service and the military? If you want to seriously further yourself is it worth going into the RAFP?
Thanks, just would like some honest answers!
