Time between training stages
What happens during the iterim periods when waiting to move onto the next stage of flight training? I only ask because some friends of mine who work as civilian outdoors instructors have said they have had a new guy who has just finished Hawk training at Valley come work with them while he waits to go to an OCU, I was always led to believe that you were kept within the RAF during these times doing some sort of ground work.
Hope someone can shed some light on the situation!
