NC Aircrew Crewman

Hi Everyone

I'm new to this forum. I'm looking into joining the RAF as NC Aircrew. I was in CCF (RAF) at school and then joined TA (RE), went to uni and transferred to UOTC and now I have graduated, I am back in the TA. I also have a PPL.

There is not a lot of literature on the role of WSOps. Is there any NC Aircrew out there, people who have done selection, or who are doing their training now, who can give me some top tips and handy hints?

I have been to my initial 'chat' at the AFCO, and I have got the second interview in mid-June. What could I expect as life as a Crewman?

What other aircraft to crewmen fly in (apart from Hercs, C-17, Merlin, Chinook, Puma, Sea King and Twin Squirrel) and what would their role be on these aircraft?

In interview should I have one aircraft type in mind, or should I have all of them in mind?

(I was told at AFCO to steer clear of the RAF website and use PPRuNe)

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Tommy
