Being an RAF Reservist is a life-changing experience. You’ll gain confidence and become fitter and more mentally agile – qualities that will benefit every area of your life.

Fulfil your potential

Serving in the RAF Reserves is about testing yourself and reaching your goals. That could be by learning new skills, meeting like-minded people or keeping physically fit. Or it could be by serving in overseas operations, and discovering your potential to cope under pressure in extreme circumstances.

Expand your horizons

In the Reserves, you can do all of these things. And you’ll have plenty of opportunity to develop yourself and expand your horizons. For example, you can learn a new trade, go on expeditions and adventure training, and travel to new destinations in the UK and overseas. All of these experiences will help to develop your resilience, independence and a can-do attitude.
