Playing a vital role in RAF operations is only part of what the RAF Reserves is all about. You’ll also enjoy an active social life and have the opportunity to try out new sports and go on action-packed adventures.

Exhilaration, adrenalin and laughter

Ever wanted to go white water rafting or cross country skiing? These are just two of the expeditions and adventure training exercises you’ll have the chance to experience. Others include sailing, climbing, canoeing and trekking. You will find it exhilarating – guaranteed.

A wide world of sports

If you want to try out a new sport, you’re in the right place. In the RAF, top-class facilities are available right on your doorstep. There is a vast range of sports to choose from, with teams and training facilities for everything from skydiving to scuba diving.

Social life on another level

You’ll meet great people and have fun with them. Reservists tell us time and again that it’s the people who make their time in the Reserves special. There’s a great mix from all walks of life, from wildly different backgrounds but very much on the same wavelength, united by a common desire to serve.
