I leave for my RAF basic training in four weeks any advice that will help me get through it all?

A good attitude. Helps both in life and flying. Seriously though, if you think positively, it will be much easier on you and you will be through it in no time at all.I leave for my RAF basic training in four weeks any advice that will help me get through it all?
During training you are assesed on your attitude as well as on your performance.


Give 100% effort in everything you are asked to do, this shows the training staff that you are serious and will be noted.





All the other things are common sense, get as fit as you can before you go, keep your mouth shut and ears open ( you have one mouth and 2 ears so you can listen twice as much as you speak...etc)


At times you will just want to give up and go home, everyone will, but keep going, and at the end of it you will have achieved something to be very proud of (the only way you could be prouder is to join the Army - but I'm Biased!)





Last piece of advice, Buy the best Iron you can afford, steam is your friend. You'll understand why at the end of week 1





Good luck!I leave for my RAF basic training in four weeks any advice that will help me get through it all?
