Unfortunatly I'm not a VR(T), but I am a CI and I thoroughly enjoy it. Some people have said that the VR(T)s sometimes create a bad impression;

My Dad always said to me that to be an ATC officer (or VR(T) or whatever the technical name is) you had to be really fat!
but it's not always the case. I can say that when I first joined as an instructor I was expecting a younger generation of kids interested in the RAF, flying, shooting, adventure training, etc. That simply wasn't so either! I'm a CI because I want to encourage younger people to take an interest in an active lifestyle and look at possibly joining the forces. We may get a lot of banter off of regular guys, but we're not all bad.
