Male to female ratio at the RAF?

Much better than in other services.... Raf chicks are always much better looking than pongo/wrens

And far more willing to spread their legs for genuine war fighters rather than Guins.

What on earth is a guin? Is that the raf equivalent to remf?

And yeh sometimes, although half of them just want a bit of pilot.

Funnily enough, every raf chick I know hates raf reg guys, so not too sure if your quite right there

Just wondering if anyone knows what the male to female ratio is?

If, however, the question is to establish your chances for casual relationship purposes (as suggested by some responders), then I suggest that you and they require some serious moral re-calibration before you even think of joining the military. Some of the attitudes in the replies reinforce the stereotype of a macho, male dominated organisation and are the reason that so much emphasis is spent on Equality and Diversity training in the public sector. Which is a complete waste of many people's time (who already possess a strong value base) but is obviously necessary for others.

Think about it.

Ikaruss, the stereotype of the military being a macho, male dominated organisation rings true because the military is exactly that, especially so in the combat/airborne/commando trades.

To use the public sector as an example of E&D is a moot point as there aren't many (if any?) civilian trades that specifically exclude females from applying.

All personnel should be treated fairly irrespective of race, ethnic origin, religion and religious beliefs, gender, sexual orientation or social background. Furthermore, the aim of the Royal Air Force’s Equality & Diversity Strategy is to achieve a diverse, operationally effective workforce in an environment free from harassment, intimidation and unlawful discrimination, in which all have equal opportunity and encouragement to realise their full potential. Diversity is, essentially, linked to equality and compliance with the law. Discrimination, harassment and bullying will not be tolerated in the RAF, either among Service or civilian personnel, as it undermines confidence, can affect mental and physical health, erodes morale and, as a consequence, damages unit cohesion and combat effectiveness.

Looks like this thread has gone down a dark alley..! OP, the RAF is a mainly male environment. Certain trades attract a higher proportion of females to males (admin, medical for example) however this is just a generalisation. If you join you will work and mix with both sexes so I wouldn't bother worrying about it.

NFI - don't quite get your argument there fella. What I'm talking about is respect for other people, regardless of mil / civvy environment. I'm well aware of the sort of conversations in Messes and Crewrooms, but there's a difference between sharing your schoolboy banter with like minded jocks in-house and sharing your banter with the world wide web, especially a forum where impressionable youngsters are looking for positive military role models.



What is Banter?


I wouldn't want you to get into trouble. Actions under the Equalities Act 2010 tend to get messy, both for the organisation, and the transgressor.
