Good day all

I've recently started my application for Pilot Officer in the RAF, but after seeing the Army Officer details recently (my brother is aplying), I really like the look of the Officer Training in the Army. Can anyone tell me first of all if it is deemed acceptable to apply to the RAF and the Army simultaneously, and how the application and training for Pilot Officer in both forces differ operationally. I have requested an Officer information pack so should be able to answe these questions myself soon, but obvisouly first-hand experience from you guys would be much greater.

You may find the RAF Regiment is part of the Royal Air Force...

There is no RAF Regiment in the Army whilst there is a RAF Rgt in the Royal Air Force, the Army and Air Force are not the same thing.
