    I sometimes think I'm in the raaf - Royal Australian Acronym Factory, but I get the impression you mean the other one.

    ITs the military, its different......

    RAAF's easy. I havent worked, I mean REALLY worked a day since I got into the blues.

    lots of hidden benefits to be found.

    there are drawbacks and plenty of them.

    was there anything specific you wanted to know about?

    what are the drawbacks, what dont you like what do you like, what jobs would suit i dont want to go in as a pilot, id enjoy doing something like movement, driving, something general along those lines, mate rekons i would be best going in as tankers as they need people than move to what i want to do when there are positions there

    I'm ex army. the RAAF is all good.

    ITs very entertaining and my job rocks.

    my biggest problem is idiots who abuse the vehicles and idiots that dont listen.

    but it varies from unit to unit.

    remember you are joining the RAAF they are not joining you. you can want what you want but what you get may not be the same.

    once you sign you're in for 6 years.

    you work when you're told to work, you go where you're told sometimes that means going to the middle of nowhere for weeks at a time. (but usually in more comfort than the army)

    just because they want tanker drivers doesnt mean you're going to get to be a tanker driver where you are they are short everywhere including places like tindal.
