RAF Application Thread
Hiya guys don't know if we have one of these threads but if we don't post here everything about applications! Where you're at in the process or any tips and tricks you can also ask questions about the process and see if anyone answers!
for me I'm going in as driver and I'm just waiting for an email to invite me to a P3 presentation (which should come Wednesday as my AFCO kindly informed me today

)Hi Adam, it could be a good idea so here's me for anyone who has direct questions:
Been through the P2 officer selection process twice, first in May 2012 failed at the hangar stage. Second was June 2013, failed the fitness test. After starting my third application and passing my third P2 filter interview I was invited back to OASC to resit fitness test.
I passed, was accepted as a logistics officer to start IOT next month.
Feel free to pick my brains if anyone needs advice.

Within reason, pick anything you want. It makes more sense to pick the news items that stand out to you because you're more likely to remember them. Standard advice is to go for 6; 3 national, 3 international. Important thing though is being able to come to your own conclusion about what's going on, not just to regurgitate someone else's opinion.

Thanks!
I was specifically asked for five news titles for each and had made the mistake of only having 3 of each and I picked obscure yet in my opinion significant ones.
They didn't like this and I was marked down for both points as 'lacking a depth of knowledge of what was going on around me in the world' an advised to 'read a quality newspaper'.
I corrected this for my third filter and picked big obvious significant ones like Syria, North Korea etc and for home HS2, Scottish independence etc. I had some curveball questions about the one from each chosen to see how I responded with a solid opinion.
Pick 5 of each and if you must pick obscure try to keep it to one or two.

That's great Tina especially not giving up after so long good determination! Congrats on getting to IOT now I know officer and airmen applications differ but what sort of stuff could I expect on interview?

One of my cadets recently went through selection for MT driver so I know a fair bit. You'll be asked similar subject areas such as RAF knowledge (aircraft, stns, overseas ops etc) your training (basic and trade) NATO, your personal experiences etc etc.
