I am currently considering a career change to a role in the RAF. At the moment, I'm a primary school teacher but I feel it is not the life I expected for many reasons I won't go into.
The RAF has always interested me and I'm considering a role as a Avionics Technician.
What is RAF life like in this role? Do you have to live on base or can you commute?
Also, I have a girlfriend who is willing to support me during this, but will I see her much?
I'd like to understand the force before I apply so please be considerate with your answers. I'm in no means looking for an easy work life, I'd just like to know more about the role/life in the RAF.
Thanks
