Hello everyone,
I found this forum through facebook last night and had a browse through. I found the information very useful and figured I had to be part of it. To give a bit of a background I am 23 years old. I left school after GCSE’s as I couldn’t wait to get out and start earning money. Since then I have gone from job to job never finding anything that has everything I am looking for. After 7 years I have decided enough is enough and have made a list of everything I enjoy in jobs and have been searching for a job that would satisfy it. I think I found it in the most unlikely place. I was never one to believe I would ever want to work in the armed forces, I think mostly out of naivety as I believed they just shot at people. It was only after looking at the websites for Army/Navy and RAF that my ears pricked up. Army was dismissed straight away yet the Navy and RAF ideas remained in my head. That interest grew and I ended up looking at the websites daily. Now I have decided I wish to join the RAF as WSOp and have my presentation on 9th May.
The more I read about the RAF the more I am interested and thus the more I want to read. After my initial AFCO interview I have been training daily (I was the most unfit guy you could meet and a chain smoker…which I am happy to say I have quit for 9 weeks now!) I am also reading as much as possible and trying to brush up on some maths equations (especially DST as I read they are used a lot from this site).
The biggest thing that has made me want to join is the constant challenge that there appears to be. Every job I have had so far has been boring and unchallenging once you know what you are doing. I believe the RAF will be different and keep me on my toes. I also like the idea of the comraderie and teamwork involved.
So yea that’s why I found the RAF and decided to apply (fingers crossed I am accepted). Now if you are still reading this and not bored yet I will let you know the kind of things I enjoy outside of work.
I used to be a dancer and am also part of an amateur dramatic group. I find most of my spare time I am actually studying one thing or another, as I love to be learning new things. Currently it’s the harmonica; previously I have tried my hand at guitar and used to play the trumpet. I come from quite a musical family with all of us being able to play at least 1 instrument to a standard.
I also enjoy (recently at least) keeping fit. I am surprised at how much better it makes you feel and how much more confident it makes you. I find myself looking forward to my next training session and love pushing myself to the limits each time.
Ok so that’s a hugely long introduction but at least if you managed to finish it you know my reasons for being on this forum.
