RAF or civvy street?

The RAF has many advantages over being in civvy street. The RAF is classed as a way of life rather than just a job you have to earn money. Although civvy pay and RAF pay are similar there are many more perks with beig in the RAF than in civvy street. In the RAF you get cheeper housing, food allowances, more oppurtunities to take qualifications, travel allowences, free health care, pay towards childrens education and most of all a cracking pension, especially the officer trades. So being in the RAF may be a more glamerous lifestyle than you might think. On duty you are encouraged to take part in sport and any oother activities that you may like to do. For those who are really good at their sport may be able to get sponsorship to take them higher. However in civvy street you may get a good company car but thats about it.
