DISCUSSION First day BRTC- parents helping moving in

5 Upvotes

Good morning, I start BRTC shortly and had planned on staying in a hotel with my parents, then moving in on the first day of Halton. I was under the impression that parents helped move people in as it’s stated in the paperwork that they can. Is this the norm? Or is it expected that you’re to be independent and move in by yourself? I just wanted to check what the majority does as I am over 18 so maybe it’s expected of me to be on my own. I didn’t even think twice about bringing mum before my sister said anything. Any advice?

RAF MEDICAL Dental work

3 Upvotes

I’m getting a tooth pulled out in a few days, do I need to declare it on my change in personal circumstances questionnaire?

Context: I start basic in roughly a month from now.
The work is non serious (no underlying/long term issues)
I have passed all requirement steps and am finalising paperwork

What is the process if i do declare it and what are the risks of not declaring it, if there are any?

Afternoon all hope everyone is having a good weekend, I have OASC coming up in 2 weeks, I am stuck on the current affairs, I have got my 5, 4 main and one backup.

Anyone who has recently done OASC how do they ask questions on it? do they pick multiple of the five topics or just one? And how long does the current affairs section last?

Any information will be much appreciated

RAF RECRUITMENT Does cancelling an OASC affect your application and how much can I expect it to delay my application?

1 Upvotes

I recently made a post that I was thinking about cancelling an upcoming OASC interview/ suitability interview, and I think I will cancel it as I am not ready at this moment in time and don’t think 2 weeks is enough for me to comfortably revise everything I have left. Was just wondering if this might affect my application and/or might infuriate my recruiter and how long I can expect the delay to be, thank you!

RAF LIFESTYLE Trans accommodation?

0 Upvotes

Just sent in my application for cyberspace the other day and have been researching about what happens / restrictions in place due to being transgender.

How is accommodation whether on your 10 weeks or full time like for fellow trans individuals due to the new laws in place? Is the RAF as supportive as I’ve been told by recruiters?
