Guest TheRedViper Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Just curious how many members here are currently in the military, and which branch. I'm in the RAF, currently at RAF Mildenhall and saw a bronze Supra with no wing parked up the other day, so got me interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cered Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Tried to be... But RAF (Police or IT) didn't want me because I didn't have an English GCSE. ... I'm a two-time university graduate (Law/Uniformed public services) and have an apprenticeship in IT. I'll re-apply when there's a war on.

Hitbox Junkie Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I was told I was too honest when I was doing medical ect and spent 6 months ping ponging medical notes from doctors in the army and my GP. I'm now finishing 3 years or electronics engineering apprenticeship. I may try again in a year but the way you seem to get treated by the government now really puts me off. Seeing it first hand with my brother in law and his friends who like many have served and spent along time in the military. My hat goes off to everyone of you.
