Hurrah! It's half term at last!
This is the very first half term of my 2nd Sixth Form year; Year 13!
So...Looks like I need to plan a few things to do over this half term, do you not agree?
Well, my girlfriend, Megan should be coming to my house on Friday evening/afternoon, so before she comes down that morning I'm going to go into Nottingham, to the Nottinghamshire Recruitment Centre of the RAF to get information on jobs within the Royal Air Force...Hey, if all goes well, I might not have to endure 6th form for much longer!
So, what else is there to do this week?
Well, I could complete task number 1 on Jerry; The list of things to do; Take photographs of Mansfield Woodhouse and the surrounding area. I could do this, and then open a Flickr account to upload these photos. It'll give me something to do, for about a day or so. 3 more days to plan...Hmm...Guess I'll just have to think of more things to do this week as it goes on!

The RAF
Well..Today I decided to look into an idea my parents suggested a while back.
I went onto the RAF website, www.raf.mod.uk, and searched for the jobs. I took a personality quiz to aid my search.
Well, I did find some interesting finds. For example, a RAF Aerospace Systems Operator...
The starting pay is £17,000 a year. I need 2 GCSE's grad A-C (FYI: I have 10...And a B-TEC in Engineering). The contract is 9 years, which, if I join at about 18 means I'll be about 27 when I leave.
Similar jobs in the civillian world are; Air-Traffic Controllers, and other careers of a similar pursuit. Though I think the experience in dealing with communications within the RAF mean I could find it quite easy to join the Police force.
Naturally, this isn't the only option, though it does seem like quite a good one, simply because of the experience and the ability to say to employers "Hey, I've got experience, with the RAF"
And how cool would it be if my kids went to school, and said to their friends "Daddy was in the RAF...but now he's in the Police Force/Fire Service etc..."
Hm, I think I'll have to get in touch with the people down at the Nottingham recruitment centre...
