RAF as a short-term career?
Hello all!
Although, I have a career choice in mind after university, I heard that a few of the graduates of my school went into a short military career (a few years) before settling down with a job in the city.
I am currently a cadet in the RAF Cadet Force in the school and certainly been enjoying it. I was also lucky enough to get into one of those 'chipmunk trainers' at RAF Benson as a part of a RAF cadet force trip earlier and got to fly over Oxfordshire. I don't intend to pursue a life-long career in the RAF but I am very interested in seeing some kind of military service for a few years. (maybe 1-5?) I had a look at Intelligence Corps, Royal Navy and etc but I suppose I have already had a taster in the RAF through school - not to say that the school RAF is anything like the 'real deal'...
Do you think it is a good idea for me to serve in the RAF for a few years or should I not bother at all? I am interested to hear opinions.
