RAF Regt recruitment query
G'day gents. I have a quick q. re the RAF Regiment. Collegue of mine "just off the boat" from Sith Ifrica. 25 yrs old, good egg, bright, cheerful and fit. As a Commonwealth citizen, he would appear to be correct in the assumption that all doors are open to him in the RAF. As it is, his first choice is the Regt. in the ranks. Are there many foreign johnnies in the Regt? Also, my only knowledge of their rols is that they guard you chaps on the ground. Is this correct? Well, that and a no doubt well-deserved reputation for fitness. As a Boer this lad's probably been brought up on 2 kudu a day so he'll be fit enough.
For my part, I'm a civvie pilot and have had a few years in the Harmy and I'm sure he'd be an asset whether in green or blue.
Thanks chaps,
PSP
