Step 3: Choose The Right Path

RAF Reserve – What Commitment is Involved?

There are two aspects to consider in regard to the commitment required in joining the RAuxAF:

The first is a time factor. You will be required to give up a portion of your spare time, the minimum amount being 27 days of training each year. You initially sign up for five years, but you can apply to leave at any time. However, it’s unlikely that you will be able to leave if mobilisation is underway.

The second factor is that you can expect to be mobilised. It’s important to remember that by joining the RAuxAF you are committing to take part in active service whatever its nature.
