RAF Police
 

Hello All,

I am thinking about joining the RAF and I want to join as an RAF policeman.

Has anyone got any tips and advice for me?

Thanks,

Andy

Of all the questions to ask! This is going to be amusing:eek:

Re: RAF Police
 

As an officer?

There are no RAF Police officers.

As an airman?

Go ahead and ask the AFCO or a car park attendant.

Andy,
Do a search for RAF Police on here. That might answer your question. In short, they are very unpopular.

PS As you can write, spell and punctuate, you would be over qualified.

Re: RAF Police
 

Its quite simple if you want to be very unpopular with everyone, sit around all day doing nothing then become an RAF copper.

Re: RAF Police
 

Couldn't agree more with the responses so far - if you want to become deeply unpopular, carry on and join the RAFP!

I'm sure it may be an apocryphal story, but I did once hear of an RAFP flight sgt who charged himself for being late for work; that's the mentality you'd be dealing with...:confused: :eek:

Re: RAF Police
 

Most unfair quote... one section of the RAFP are overwhelmingly friendly and professional :) Andy - I do assume you have 4 legs, a tail and bark ;)

Please please please please please... don't!:eek:

I would rather slam my johnson in a car door than be an RAF policeman.:E

You'll need to develop:

1) An enormously inflated sense of self importance,

2) A thick skin,

3) An enormously inflated sense of self importance

4) 'Eagle Eyes' for checking all of the tax discs on camp "Just in case"

5) An enormously inflated sense of self importance

6) An elasticated waist band,

7) An enormously inflated sense of self importance

8) An intense dislike of other human beings


Hope this helps:ok:

ProfessionalStudent,

I agree,

And I've slammed my johnson in a car door!:p :p

Ooh! Nasty Rocketman!

Got it caught in my zip once... Got the zipper all the way to the top too. Only one solution from that situation... That smarted a bit...:eek:

You have to be able to apprehend villains who jump through circles of fire and escape through plastic tubes and slalom courses.

Looking like the Chf Wiggum out of the Simpsons seems to be the entry criteria.

Re: RAF Police
 

If you are interested in real and interesting police work then why don't you join the real police force and not the pretend RAF one.

If you are just keen on joining the RAF and are just looking for a branch then why not choose one which requires at least half a brain.

Everyone else is right by the way - they are ALL t*£ts

I think not!far to complicated for Them that the job of the dog!!!:}

Re: RAF Police
 

Come on lets keep this one going until we get a bite from a plod type!! ;)

To the original poster, whatever floats your boat mate, one tip though, I am not sure how they dress it up at the careers office but it my best advice would be to go and do some work experience at your nearest base and just see what they do/don't do. Far be it from us to tell you that you are wrong to want to do it, after all someone has to!

Good luck

From my dealings with them (mostly ATSy), the more senior (SNCO) scuffers were not a bad bunch, it was the young self-important acting Cpl's you had to watch out for....

You mean the ones who try to hide themselves away out of sight whilst making notes on the alcoholic consumption going on around them.

Next time you see yor mother, ask her for positive ID, in fact, INSIST ON IT. If she fails to produce ID she is not your mother!
Same applies for everyone else you know and recognise.

RAFP? :mad: :mad: :mad:

Re: RAF Police
 

I find it highly ammuzing that he's actually asked on here if he should become a scuffer or not!!!!!

Gate up gate down??? when was the last time anyone actually saw a copper on the gate? they're far too busy trying to catch the criminal masterminds that have an out of date car pass...........

If you want everyone to hate you, sit alone in the mess and drink in your own little bar, cos no-one wants to drink with you - its the job for you.:}
