Hi everyone. I attended OASC two weeks ago today, and yesterday i recieved my acceptance as NCA WSOp (ALM/AEOp), providing i pass the specialist medical in the next few weeks. I have a start date in September. Firstly, the RAF is currently actively recruiting aircrew and pilots so please don't be put off anyone.
Actually son, they are not. I was informed of this at my AFCO, as have others been. Furthermore, i pushed, and i mean actually had to push the point with a couple of boarding officers whilst i was at Cranwell and they admitted as much. They are hopefull that the quotas will change but for those who have attended in the past few weeks or so the slots are just not there at the moment. Well done with your non commissioned position. Wish you the best of luck with your medical (eyesight prob or something?). Not the best time to be joining the RAF, blame the government and beurocratic mismanagement of budgets.
