Your First Tour
For your first tour you will be posted to an operational RAF Regiment Squadron based in the UK. Here you will consolidate your training on squadron exercises and also have the opportunity to undertake adventurous training and sport.
The most important thing is for you to get to know those under your command and for them to know and respect you, so that when you are on operations they trust you and have confidence in the decisions you make.
Ongoing Development
JROC is only the beginning; as you undertake new roles you will complete courses to help you meet any challenge, be it Forward Air Controlling, Jungle or Arctic Warfare courses, Heavy Weapons courses or military parachuting.
Life as an RAF Regiment Officer is never predictable, and a new challenge is always just around the corner. Much will be demanded of you, but in return, you will go to places and experience a world your civilian friends can only dream of. The challenge is there, the rest is up to you.
Transferable Skills
The qualifications and experience you will gain as an RAF Regiment Officer are valuable to civilian life – which means that whenever you decide to leave the RAF you will be well placed to find a new job.
On completion of JROC you will receive a Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management. As you move up the ranks you will gain a great deal of practical management and leadership experience which you can develop into related civilian qualifications.
