LIFE IN THE RESERVES
RAF Reserves serve alongside Regulars in the
UK and overseas . They get to balance their own careers and home life , with the challenge and adventure of the RAF .
Reserves commit a minimum of 27 days per year on a renewable 12-year basis . Each year includes a two-week ( 15 days ) block for general RAF training , and at least 12 weekend or holiday days for additional training , trade training , or training exercises .
Reserves can be mobilised on expeditionary operations at some time during each 12-year contract . They can be deployed to a UK , overseas or temporary base for up to six months , plus another six months for pre-deployment training and post-deployment relaxation with loved ones .
