Is RAF training all it's cracked up to be...?
In a word, YES!!.

Well, at least back in the sixties. Wings course on the JP. Twenty-two started, one medical drop-out, one medical re-course. We picked up two from the previous course, so twenty-two graduated. Having said that, there was, I'm sure, a huge loss from initial application through OATC and basic training.

The earliest drop-out I came across was at South Cerney. Sworn in about 18:00 day one, shouted at on day two, he was gone by lunch.
