Hi all,
This may be my first post so please excuse my little rant :-)
I applies to join the army reserve as a rifleman with 6 Rifles. The application has taken 8 months I suppose, this is due to inability of somebody somewhere trying to retrieve my previous service docs from 10 years ago. Throughout this process they have lost information, sent information not belonging to me with some pretty in depth stuff in it, belonging to other recruits, not responded to phone calls or emails etc. The whole process has been laughable really.
So a month ago I applied to join RAF Reg reserve. Already somebody has dealt with my application and I will be receiving a date for an info day the beginning of this week. So i've acheived more already in a month with the RAF than the Army.
Has anybody recently gone through the application process, if so how long did it take? Also any idea if the Raf will want to see previous service docs from the Army?
Thanks in advance
 
They will, and be warned the wait for the docs will probably be lengthy.
 
It took about 12mths from application to attestation for me, and under 12 months to near the end of Phase 2 training. Hang in there, it's worth it.
