Does anyone really love or really hate thier job and have a massive contract still to work at?
Do you ever regret signing?
Some do. Most don't. The RAF they join today is
their RAF and it is quite different from
my RAF. Which one you would have prefered I can't say.
Whats the food live?
It varies. It is adequate. Some is good. Some dining-in night food is beyond compare.
Do you live in the same room?
In training, maybe. In Hotac on Det you shouldn't. In the sandpit you will.
Whats it like moving location every 3 years?
As aircrew you tend not to move. As a JO in a ground branch you would be unlucky to stay as long as 3 years - 18 months to 30 months is more usual as you need to ticket punch to progress.
Are the conditions bad, average, or good?
Spot on, got it in 3.
Are there too many social events?
Depends what floats your boat. Summer reception, Summer Ball, Christmas Draw, monthly dining-in, say 6 per year, sqn dinner, officer-sgts mess games night, Christmas Exchange drinks, serving Christmas Day dinner, Remembrance Day, Freedom Parade. Some people relish these, many aircrew become indispensible doing air tests, QRA, delivery flights etc or even display pilot just to avoid them.
Is the pay sufficient?
They pay
you to fly, you don't pay them so it must be sufficient esle you wouldn't do it.

What pisses you off the most?
Is the pay sufficient?
Any general 'life in the RAF as a pilot' info would be greatly greatly apreciated. Many thanks in advance.
Do you ever regret signing?
No. For those that do they can generally escape after 6 years or so.
