Yes

Because it is a very hard but rewarding. it is also very physical and often working with others which a lot of people enjoy. There is also a lot of other roles if these don't appeal to them.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to RAF?
Trying to get some consistency before so that adjusting can be easier. Also having some training or a topic of interest that you enjoy will help meet more people and offer more opportunity.
