The link for the survival equipment fitter job said that the minimum length of service is nine years. I was surprised to see that such a long service commitment is required.
"Let me think about it" = the coward's way of saying "no"

It is 9 years as i am joing as a non commisioned aircrew (if i spelt that right)
But in those 9 years, other than the job i can learn to fly at any of the gliding clubs at the bases i may be posted to
I can get betterqualifications and take course etc etc
Once the 9 years are up, i can stay in for more, or leave and go into the civilian trade. Other than the fact of my experiecne in the job when i leave, i will also have learned to fly at a cheap price

Thank you for that Wally
My mum and dad were both in the raf, my dad leaving 2 years ago as a flt sgt and my mum 22 years ago when i came into the world
We still have relatives serving, and my mum works at RAFC Cranwell so i have been around the raf all my life.
Aviation has had a help in getting me to do this job. Working with a great team environment, a new life as well, and working with fast jets, what more could u ask for (maybe drew barrymore as my wife but i doubt it)
