Calling former/current RAF Medical Officers
Gents and ladies,
I'm looking for some down to earth advice for a friend of mine starting medical school this week. She is looking to apply for RAF sponsorship as soon as possible and has asked me for advice. If anyone would be able to share with me some experiences, anonymously or not, I would greatly appreciate it. Such questions have arisen like: is the training as good as the brochures suggest, how frequent are overseas postings.. there seem to be lots of civvie MOs manning the stations over here.. is there any anti-military discrimination against docs who leave the forces and go civil... and if you were in her position now, would you join up?
Any help would really be appreciated, thanks in advance. E-mails would be great if that's better for you!
Ralph
