Sometimes people get things wrong but, if you go against an RAF fighter pilot then you'd better bring your 'A Game' because they are trained for war and they will not back down!

Today we look at a complaint that was made against a fighter pilot in the RAF by someone who got upset at a factually correct, yet provocative, statement that they found in his email signature block!

Thing is, if you go up against one fighter pilot, you go up against them all!

Tim,

I'm currently serving in the Air Force as a pupil pilot (prefer not to mention which Air Force). The journey hasn't been easy, not that I thought it would be, just been testing in aspects where one wouldn't expect and be able to prepare for. What I mean with this is; physically I knew it was going to be testing so I could train for it; mentally is so broad you can only prepare certain aspects but others catch you completely off guard; lifestyle comes with its own challenges but one can gradually adapt to them I feel; spiritually you can't prepare for but you must allow for growth in the most demanding times, which is super tough as one doesn't always see the bigger picture in the moment, so a lot of introspection is needed (thank you covid 19); emotionally is truly the most difficult one even more so during these tough times, as I'm not an emotional person and I struggle to share emotions if I do feel them. 

How does one prepare oneself mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally throughout the different phases? How does one keep adapting to the ever changing environments? How did you as a pupil pilot share or offload some of your emotions and feelings? 

My time in the military has come with quite a few challenges. I applied in 2015 while busy with my 2nd year at university, went for selection that year March and failed the psychomotor tests as I was trying to be to precise and completely disregarded speed. After failing I was eager to try again but had to take a 6 months break before being able to. The Air Force called me in October that year to try again, I improved on my previous shortcomings and passed. November that year I went for my interviews, which I found pretty easy as I had been for job interviews before. 

2016 is where the hiccups in my military career started. I received a call early January telling me basic training will start next week and expect a call in the week with information on where, what and how. I had to reapply for uni in that same week, naive as I was I didn't reapply to uni cause I was off to the military in my mind. Let's just say they never called and I spent a year working, started a handyman company with one of my mates and worked for a NPO. 

2017 came about and I finally received a call the Friday while away on trip with the NPO, had to travel home and get all my things packed and ready to ship off the Sunday. Basics is basics, don't think I need to elaborate much there as you have walked that path before. One thing I did find difficult during that time was sharing the experience with my friends as they had not walked that path but with the older generation it was easy and our stories were very similar. Officers training is my least favourite course to date, as it felt like an absolute waste of time, I just wanted to get to the flying part. Also felt that most of the people I was on course with didn't have the leadership abilities needed of an officer and they were just there because they knew someone in the right place. 

2018 was ground school, which was loads of fun and challenging at the same time. It is where I learnt balance in life is key, I learnt it the hard way by failing 1 of the exams due to me enjoying my birthday weekend too much. June that year we signed our contracts and were made to believe we will start ground school/flying September that year. So off we went to the flying school to go work on the flight line for the time being. This is where the major hiccups start.

We ended up working on the flight line for a whole year, where we were fed the same story of you will start next month. When next month comes around, we get fed more less the same story of next month. After a year we decided to write a letter to be sent to home units so we could be closer to family, as it came out our training was only going to start in January 2020. 

I do believe the flight line is good for pupil pilots but they must be put there with a set goal in place and it must be made a learning environment. To give them a better understanding of how things work on the ground and what challenges the groundcrew face. Instead the groundcrew see it as an opportunity to boss the youngsters around, not beneficial to the organisation or a future officer who would need to deal with groundcrew in the future. 

We all went home for 6 months and spent much needed time with family and friends. Was also able to partake in sport again as this was difficult while under training.

The year 2020 started off so well, we finally started with the much awaited ground school, passed all the tests. I got the instructor I wanted, while working on the flight line it came out we went to the same high school. Started with sim sorties, was 2 sim sorties away from getting in the aircraft and then covid 19 happened. Training was immediately stopped and we were told to hang ten in our rooms. We had asked to go home over this time to see our families, the request was denied later. They then decided to start with aspect briefs so we could remain busy and take our minds off when we are actually going to start flying. We were a week into aspect briefs then a member in our work enviroment contracted the virus. 

It honestly feels as soon as we get going something comes along and hampers our training. How do you recommend keeping focused and refocusing the negative thoughts and energy? How does one stay positive even at the most difficult of times? How to stay current with the work, keep feeding the brain information but with no ouput and how to make sure you are not engraving bad aviation habits? As we are vulnerable students at the moment, still fresh in the new field with lots of information but no opportunity to expand on it and make sure we understand the concept correctly cause we don't have the interaction with our instructors at the moment due to lockdown. 

It feels as if my life has been on hold for the last 2 years. Where if I was just told the truth from the beginning I could have made a plan to go study or do something that is beneficial for me and the organisation. I don't expect smooth sailing but I'm slowly losing faith in the organisation and it is not great to have such thoughts, especially if this is where one wants to be. How does one keep faith and stop questioning what the higher ups are doing, even though they are dragging their feet along with your career? I'm aged 27 at the moment and have nothing to show, except my life experiences up until now. Would you recommend studying after completing pilots course or to go straight to the Squadron if there is no backlog there? I would love to go to fighters.

Looking forward to your perspective and thoughts. 

Thank you and all the best - M

A great and well written email from an 18 year old who is doing some great work on himself as he attempts to get into the RAF as a pilot - GREAT ADVICE here!

'The best advice I have to give to any prospective pilots is this: be pragmatic in your approach to joining the military with healthy expectations and no small amount of determination. Try to enjoy the journey without fixating on the destination or at least value the selection process as life experience, otherwise you will never be satisfied with any amount of progress. However, it is important to have a destination to aim for; it gives your life purpose. I agree with your words on your Facebook page Tim, ‘there’s a cockpit there if you want it, but you do have to want it’.'

I can self-destruct.

I have the power to destroy everything in my world, but I choose not to.

Some days that choice is harder to make than on other days, but I take comfort in the knowledge that there are other people out there doing the same thing.

I know some of these people well but some I’ve never met; I watch from afar, keenly noticing how fine a line they walk. Occasionally, I’ll read about someone whose done something stupid and I’ll note that they made a different choice that morning – I then briefly consider my own vulnerability.

I can’t ‘do’ average and this is a problem for me.

I’m not saying this to gain any favour, I genuinely revere those who can be satisfied with a film or favourite TV show on a Saturday night but I just can’t do it and recently I was asked a question on social media that got me thinking...

What would you say if I said you could be anything you wanted to be, right now?

Today.

A famous movie actress, an award-winning scientist or a sports star who just got signed to their favourite team?

All you have to do, is choose. 

Now, imagine you’ve been invited over to a friend’s house for dinner. You check your diary – you’re free that night and some of your buddies are going too, so you accept. As the night approaches, you think about what to wear, how you are getting there and who you might know.

The night arrives, you turn up and thank your friend for the invite.

They introduce you to the room and it turns out you know most of the people there. Food comes out, you all chat away merrily and eventually everyone leaves the table to carry on in the lounge.

You nip to the kitchen to fill your glass and when you return, you find yourself briefly without anyone to talk to. Just then, a young lady approaches and asks what you do...

​Uniformed Police Officers, wearing body armour and carrying Heckler & Koch MP5 submachine guns pulled tightly into their shoulders, stepped silently through the busy supermarket’s doors.

It was a hot and humid July day on the south coast of England; people were going about their weekly shop and the smell of cheap sunscreen hung lazily in the air. The store’s tannoy was calling for someone to help at the checkouts and people were busying themselves taking items from the shelves and placing them into their baskets.

Some of the shoppers who saw the two men enter, stopped and just stared - their eyes following their movement with a sense of foreboding curiosity; others seemed oblivious to what was about to happen. 

The policemen aimed down their sights - wherever their eyes went, the barrel of the weapon would quickly follow. With each purposeful, yet muted step, they slowly drifted apart as they made their way to the back of the store where their target had last been reported. People would later report a strange sense of calm that accompanied the men, a professionalism or a seemingly innate confidence.

They would also later note that these men were not as young as they would have expected; these guys must have been in their forties, their grey hair complimenting their darkened and sun-wrinkled skin.

‘STAND STILL! STAND STILL!’, came the shout from the first Officer as he focused his weapon on a young man holding a box of breakfast cereal.

‘SHOW ME YOUR HANDS! BOTH HANDS! DROP THE BOX AND SHOW ME YOUR HANDS!’, demanded the second man.
