As a (happily) serving member of the RAF I must say I've never read such tosh in my life. It's the minority - like the person that posted that link - that breed discontempt within the service. Fair enough, there are people who join and decide it's not for them but there's no need to post **** like that over the net.
If you join up then do your time and stop moaning.

For God's sake! We don't have National Service any more - if you joined up you did it because you wanted to. And you signed a contract.
The RAF (or Navy, or Army) have spent a considerable amount of OUR money training you so that you are able to perform a useful role. And when you finish your time you will find that the training you have had is better by far than that which your civilian counterparts will have received. And yes, you will also find that the rates of pay you can command are likely to be better too.
Personally if someone came to me for a job having bucked the system to get out early I'd show them the door. You whine about getting into trouble for not doing as you're told. Well try doing as you're told then! You joined the military, not the Salvation Army - that must have meant something before you signed on the dotted line, surely?
I have no doubt that the RAF would be far, far better off without you. But you need to wind your neck in, get on with the job YOU signed up for and see if you can make yourself into a man,or at least a better person by doing it.

Bit of a shame, that the driving test doesn't inlcude a test of basic intelligence and literacy.

Sorry if I'm missing something, but that page doesn't actually explain how to get out of the RAF.
So you've created a page called "how to get out of the RAF" with no information on it, that we should pass onto family and friends so you can create a site about "how to get out of the RAF". Why should we?

Sounds like the author should just go and tell them he's a retard.
Nothing wrong with wanting to get out of the services, after all you'd have to be pretty stupid to want to be a pawn of people like Blair and Bush.
I'm sure it would be pretty easy to get kicked out for example- just go and tell them you take drugs if you want to get out.

Oh,Oh i think we've got some Anti forces do-gooder here This guys page deserves to be spammed ,coming on here and asking stupid questions.I for one am proud of all our armed services,too many people on civvy street forget the job they are doing and because they aint fighting on our doorstep don't really bother too much when they get killed,but remember its these same people that would be fighting to protect me and you if this little island ever got invaded. In the forces ,the more you put in the more you get out ,it's all about attitude,and we can see this guy's pretty clearly stinks.

Protect what exactly? Vested interests? In the unlikely event of someone wanting to invade the '****tish Isles' then they could hardly make it worse than it already is.
I'd have thought the money we waste on the forces could be better spent elsewhere rather than sending out low IQ muppets to the middle east to be ground into meat paste for no reason other than an imperialist crusade which is failing in any case.
Spamming up this guys website just demonstrates that people on here (including a moderator) consider that type of abuse acceptable as long as you consider the recipient to be stupid and risible. Just as well really eh?

To my mind, if you sign a contract then it means something and to break it is nothing to be proud about.
You joined presumably with an open mind, The RAF took you on and trained you. I think you should fullfill the original agreement.

Vapid, you seem to be of the same breed as the chap who wrote the first link. You may think of the UK as the '****tish isles' (very original by the way) and you may hold the opinion that the current situation in the Middle East is nothing more than a crusade, but that does not give you the right to refer to those whose necks are on the line as 'low IQ muppets'.
People need to understand that we join the armed forces to protect our country and if the Government decide that the best way to do this is to combat forces in distant parts of the world then so be it.
If you don't agree with the 'War on Terror' - or whatever it's being referred to as now - then keep your trap shut and have some respect for the guys and girls who are out there fighting it.

But just out of curiosity - wouldn't telling your wing commander (or whatever they're called) that you're gay do the trick....?
