When I went to Halton in 1970, everything was provided by the RAF.

@THURGOODa cool, ye it seems a really good job, i'm not sure myself as there are so many different carreers to choose from, but i've always wanted to fly in the RAF.

The ironing board isnt necessary as others will take some down. (For instance if they are driving down) but everything else is there on the kit list and are necessary.

In that case I would suggest practising before you go. I'm not a very strong swimmer either, in fact I only learn't last year - but I'm confident enough to do a few lengths and that's all you'll need.

very usefull video, just got back from my PRTC yesterday. like every one else i dadn't use half of it! Not too worry though, no doubt if i hadn't taken it i'd have been bollocked for it. just wondering about the boots though, how often did you wear/ polish them between PRTC and the RTC itself? I start on the 8th of july so hoping to get it all sorted well before that.

Thats a good video buddy, I'm in the early stages of application to the RAF, I'm currently busting my balls training, doing 30 minutes on a treadmill 4 times a week, followed by hard cross training, rowing, cycling and 7 different weight machines pulling 65 kilos on each finishing with a 60 length swim at 1.5km. The only problem I have is my body mass index is high, but that might be because of my body training. What position have you applied for? I'm applying for Air Traffic Controller.

Well I have sat the AST just the woman at my local AFCO doesn't seem to know what she's talking about, everytime I call she talks bullshit :P I just rarely ever see they taking on chefs due to the private contractors they hold but I did hear a rumour they were going to change from contractors to actually employing people from civvy street into RAF chefs. Btw, Goodluck with that, just keep the training up till then.I was tempted to join as a female armorer but I don't know what I need for it.
