Potential RFA Officers - I'm happy to share my 2019 experience of interview process, BRNC, etc.

[Scribes86]

If you are considering joining the RFA as an officer, and given how much information I've seen which was either out of date, contradictory, or just plain wrong, I thought it would be useful to share my successful experience (which is current as of August 2019). If this helps one person I will have achieved my aim, but hopefully this will help quite a few more, so if you've got a question, ask away and I'll do my best to answer it.

I know there is a mile and a half run at the AIB but is there a fitness test before that?

Nope. Just the mile and a half. They'll do a warm up routine which in my case involved jogging from the touchline to the centre line while doing different exercises (e.g. knees high, side step, lunges, etc.) but that part isn't assessed.
