Not necessarily, it's a lot to do with how you come across and how commited you now are to joining the RAF. Your time certainly doesn't sound too disjointed to me.

T-shirt/jeans, shirt/trousers, shirt/tie?
Is this the P2 presentation, or just an informal chat? Either way, dress smartly. You may be the only one there in a suit or slacks and a shirt but first impressions count. Both the P2 and an informal chat are just for you to ask some questions and to get to know a bit more about the RAF without any commitment.
