Up early for a Saturday morning Lon Mil, shift or flying?
Bra, these guys are generally spot on. Mil ATC will give you a wealth of opportunities that you will not get as a civ atco. But your an officer first, controller second. If you're motivating factor is joining the RAF then go for it. If it's controlling then you might want to think about the civil side. As the others have said, there's a lot of other stuff going on on the mil side. You'll be a flight commander, you'll be expected to carry out roles on the station as secondary duties (that's stuff in your own time) and you even have the opportunity for embarking on an all expenses paid trip to Iraq, Afghanistan or the Falkland Islands. Having said that, imho, military controlling is a lot more fun, especially on the area radar side. Good luck
