Just applied for the RAF reserves



Cant believe the sas has part timers too (ie Bear Grilles just operated for them when free). Surely you’d need full time comitment in a role like that.

I'd think it would be an even greater commitment on the person, e.g they have to be fit as fuck (and the other attributes) whilst juggling civilian life. They would probably augment the regulars on operations, just like the rest of the Army Reserve.

According to the website you get to spend a fun fortnight at Halton learning how to iron shirts and make beds :D

12.2 Airman training
Initial airman training begins on the squadron and ends in 15 days continuous training at RAF Halton in Buckinghamshire.

It covers an introduction to life in the RAF Reserve, service knowledge, drill, field training and team building. You’ll need to pass this training before you can move to specialised training for your role. This will take place at your own squadron.

Whatever you do, you will serve overseas at some point. You’ll also get the chance to experience adventurous training such as skiing, sailing, climbing, canoeing, white water rafting or trekking. There are expeditions to Cyprus, Norway and Germany as part of the winter adventurous training programme. Plus, you could get the opportunity to train overseas as part of your annual 15-day training camp.

sounds fun.......2 weeks away from the wife and kids and getting paid for it
