During basic i wouldn't say you have much time coz ur constantly working your bum off. its good to see your taking an interest in the trade i have done. im currently on hold as i got injured when i joined the raf in 2007 so ive had to take leave for a few years.
but trust me on this one basic is NOT the real raf thats them training you and you will get arseholes. but after you pass out its amazing.
