RAF Reserve Squadron 4626

10A772D4 5056 A318 A8F65C2AAA82AB47 - RAF Reserve Squadron 4626

So some of you may know I have talked about joining the Army reserves. That has been mainly in part to location. I live on the south coast and there are reserve units all over the place, were as there are no local RAF units (I have always wanted to join the RAF though). As a medic this drops that number down even more. I have the choice of the oldest RAF base RAF Northalt or RAF Brize Norton which houses the only aeromedical evacuation squadron.

I looked at locations and while RAF Northalt is closer, RAF Brize Norton is the one to go for.

A big plus for RAF over Army is the commitment time each year. It’s the same amount of days but training is over the weekend rather than a mix of evenings & weekends. I have to do a 15 day camp then 6 weekends a year. I am going to aim for 1 every 2 months.

RAF fitness:

Initial selection

2.4km Treadmill run in 14:13min
8 push ups in 1 min
26 sit ups in 1 min

RAFFT

Bleep test @: 6.04-7.05 (good), 7.05-10.04 (very good), 10.05+ (excellent)
Press ups: 8-17 (good), 18-27 (very good), 28+ (excellent)
Sit ups: 26-31 (good), 32-45 (very good), 46+ (excellent)

About the only thing I can do now are the sit ups. I need to work on my run and I can’t even do one real press up. I am going to go to an information event on 22nd Feb so I ope to be in reasonable fitness by then even though this is just information gathering and no testing.

Once through selection basic training will be 5 days one month, 4 days the following month and 15 days the month after. I am away for a good part of May so a selection date of April/June with basic training from July would be ideal.

As RAF Brize Norton is a distance away I shall have to stay in a hotel/hostel the night before any training unless they offer accommodation.or training started on the Friday evening

I appreciate uni giving us a chromebook for our studies but I've had issues throughout and really don't like them. It did save me having to buy a new laptop for 3 years though đŸ˜€

After only 2 months qualified I have received and After only 2 months qualified I have received and accepted a new RN role. I'm leaving the NHS for a night role in a nursing home.  I haven't enjoyed my time since qualifying & I realise I'm not a ward nurse especially surgical (though I can see myself in theatres). The original role I accepted and I would have enjoyed has been closed since this time last yr and I can't see it opening this year.
So many people I hear get their 'dream' role on qualifying, I'm not one of them & I'm not one to be happy just anywhere.  I want to be an oncology specialist or on the clinical research team. There are no jobs for these role so onto post grad study ASAP and see where it goes.
