The adventure starts

Joining up is the first and most important steps in becoming a member of the military and shouldn't be taken lightly, but at the same time it should be seen as the beginning of an adventure, a moment of great pride if anything.
For me personally my future was the RAF, thanks to my grandfather I developed a growing interest in the air power and technology of the 20th/21st century and so joining up as an engineer seemed a logical and beneficial idea, from the air man selection test and the physical fitness test to the final 'is this for you' interview I never thought back about my decision and couldn't have been more excited when I was finally in my parents car on my way to RAF Halton to begin my training.
