Hello,
I am currently working as a design engineer and have been thinking of joining the RAF as a engineering officer (aerospace systems) for awhile. I have a few concerns as everywhere I look to have queries answered I get mixed responses. Is there any experienced RAF members and engineers who could help me?
-Would I move about alot? I understand there will be deployement and that but what can I expect life to be like concerning relationships?
-Would current serving members recommend joining?
-what are career opportunites after service like?
-Would my experience as a design engineer (BEng (Hons)) be of any help?
-Is promotion of engineer officers relatively good? I see most senior staff are pilots.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I really want to join but are unsure if its something I would regret doing.
