View Full Version : Help needed, I'm a newbie
Hello everyone
This looks like a really great forum. Im not an official RAFwag yet as my husband only starts his training on 22nd July but im glad ive found this. We are literally just married (8th May) and counting down the days until he goes and ive been a bit teary & emotional to say the least. Im trying to be strong as i know he will have to put his all into training but i think i just need to talk to other wives & partners who are going through the same things just to give me an insight into what life is going to be like as an RAF wife.
Any advice would be much appreciated

Hi Janette welcome to WAGS and congratulations on getting married! :)
I'm Holly, my oh is based in germany and I havent seen him since beginning of april, got 12 days to go til we have a long weekend together so im very excited! It is an emotional time, but this site really really is a life saver. Advice I can give you is keep strong for you and your oh, remember when he goes away he will be missing you just as much you miss him. Keeping busy is an important one and give yourself time to do things for you. It is hard, no one will tell you it isnt but it is so worth the ups and downs. Its just a different way of life really and you will adapt. Time together will be precious but it makes it more special. I dont know much about the RAF but judging by the army, prepare to have dates changed etc etc at the last minute. A lot of people say they dont believe it will happen until it actually does with the army!
Good luck and any questions or worries no matter how silly you may think they are we are all here to support you!
You've got the best start you can with this site, everyone is so lovely!
Lots of love xxxxxxxx

Where is your husband training? xx
thanx ladies
everyone asks me that but i can never remember i always get the names of the bases mixed up i think its RAF Halton. we've never been apart more than 5 days so i dont how i will cope in the beginin but at least ive found somewhere where i can have a good moan an theres someone else who knows exactly wot im goin through.
i know holton very well used to live just outside it and my best friend dad works there its very nice! so what is your husband going to do in the raf xx
hes aiming to become a weapon system operator (does that sound rite?) but i guess they will put him wherever he is best suited. wot does ur oh do? hes tryin his best to work on his fitness at the mo out runnin everyday findin it hard bless him
mines a raf regt gunner when he gets back of tour he is doing his pre para course so he will be getting into shape men! lol x
