Hi Iso,
Thank you for your enquiry a couple of weeks ago, seeking information on career opportunities in the Royal Air Force.
As part of the procedure for gaining an offer of service, it is necessary that we obtain a number of clearances in respect of candidates. One of these clearances requires the candidate to have resided for the 5 years immediately prior to application, in the UK where meaningful background checks can be made.
I realise that the above information will be disappointing to you, but I would like to thank you for your interest in a career with the Royal Air Force, and to wish you well for the future.
Joy

And some more answers:

To Chaz who asked about work expereince,
Sorry, the RAF no longer organises Work Experience as an organisation, however, individual RAF stations can provide work experience should they have the scope to do so. My advice would be to speak to a local RAF Station or possibly even your nearest Armed Forces Careers Office who may make the first contact for you.
Good luck, hope you enjoy it!

Some more answers!!

To Nathan Beck who asked about eyesight and joining as a WSOp:
You can't be a Weapon Systems Operator (Acoustics, Electronic Warfare, Crewman) in fast jets, but you can be a Weapon Systems Officer (Navigator). For both of these branches you need your prescription to be +3/-2. For more information on these jobs look on www.raf.mod.uk/careers

To Michael W who asked about the selection process:
For information on the selection/application process for both Ground Trades and Commission please go to this link http://www.raf.mod.uk/careers/applic...

And to Paul B who asked about WSOps:
WSOp is currently recruiting and will have further
numbers to recruit next year. It can take approx 6 months to go through the process however, so if it may be worth going to your AFCO sooner rather than later.

Hi everyone,
Sorry it's taken us so long to come back with answers to your questions, but here's a 'bumper' set of answers for some of you who left questions a while ago:

To Rudy, who asked about Apprenticeships:
As long as you have GCSEs at Grade C in Maths, English Lang and Science you'll be able to apply for one of the engineering ground trades. You can always apply for your commission at a later date if that's what you want to do.

To Jay who asked about joining the RAFP:
The RAF recruit all year round, but are given certain targets for certain trades. If a trade meets it's target before the next recruiting year, the trade may be closed for a period of time. The trade of RAFP is closed at the moment, but to keep up to date with it I would recommend being in touch with your nearest Armed Forces Careers Office.

Hi..I am a 28 year old Fijian guy and resides in my country..Due to the political crisis in Fiji, my country was suspended from the commonwealth. Will that stop me from applying to join the RAF??
I really need your answer and help as I have an interest in joining the ARF....
Hope to hear from you soon..
