Hey all,

Does anyone else find the cost of dining at the mess extortionate.
For example, This is the cost on average of 3 meals.
Breakfast - £1.50
Lunch - £4.50
Dinner - £5

This includes a normal meal, No particularly large portions or of high quality.

The RAF website states “We offer subsidised on-base catering for all RAF personnel (around £38 per week for three good quality meals a day)”

This means I should be paying £1.80 a meal as opposed to £77 a week.

This also doesn’t include Ketchup. Which is £0.05 a packet. Which I’ve previously been told according to the ESS/RAF contract states your allowed 2 free packets with your meal.

I just find the pricing has gone extortionate. Much cheaper to cook yourself. That is if the RAF provides adequate cooking facilities 🤦

Whats everyone’s thoughts.

Hey all,

Just curious if it’s possible to apply for pilot while currently servicing in the RAF as an Air Tech M. Only qual being my RAF apprenticeship.

Does any know how many UCAS points Air Tech M will receive upon trade training? It’s a C&G 4680-60 course.

Afternoon all;

To provide some context, I am 20 Years old and have roughly £40k in my S&S ISA. My take home pay it £2500 a month. I aim to invest £1666.66 each month in order to fulfill my ISA and maybe look to invest any other savings into a property.

I currently drive a paid off £12k vehicle, However I have been tempted to purchase my dream car which is around £25-£30k.

I always had the goal of waiting till I had £100k in ISA and then purchase my dream car. So I’d need £130k. Which I should achieve by 23-24ish depending on market returns.

What I want to know is am I being to tight with my money. Should I reap some benefits of my discipline and savings by maybe purchasing this car next year.

Let me know your thoughts.

Thank you
