Bite! Lol x sorry I love winding the royal flying corps up ;)
I spent 2 years at RAF Warrington fantastic gym looked like new basically cos no bugger ever used it!
Morticia like said above lyneham may no longer be recruiting but there's lots of camps and garrisons in the area beemerman might be your best point of contact tho :)
Who would want to join the RAF as a pti tho? Physical Education Officer gets PEdO on their parking space? How dodgy?
Who would want to join the RAF at all??
The PTI's spend all their time looking at mirrors. You're right about being a PTI Officer though, they get a really sh*t job title.
As for the rest of us, there is a large number that use the gym and I have to do Phys every couple of days because I'm on a short notice deployable section that needs to remain fit at all times. There are a lot of fatties in the RAF though but you get that in every job :D
I'll either be a civvi or an Infantry Officer in 523 days time :)
I will see you in a buff coloured beret and throwing a salute up to you if I see you in green in 18 months time then Emlyn , good luck whichever way your career turns mate. In 3 years and 358 days I will be getting turfed out too but thats my 22 year point coming around ... Not that I'm counting ;)
I'm looking forward to a buff beret instead of my faded blue one. Hopefully it works out for me otherwise you'll be seeing me pushing trolleys at Morissons in just over a years time :DQuote:

My section seems to be the only one at Lyneham that does phys every couple of days. We do circuits and fully laiden boot runs and our pass rate's higher than the rest of camp. You've only got to go into admin to see the coffee drinking, biscuit eating fatties in there to realise that obesity's hitting the armed forces at an alarming rate and this is affecting deployments because I've never seen a fatty on Det, just slim beautiful people like myself 8-)

well during my 24 years in the Army I made good use of both the Waddington Gym and the Army Education Centres. All I can say is the youth of today obviously don't know whats good for them ;D
