Non-Serving Family Responses


As the NON-SERVING family member, what do you ENJOY MOST about RAF life?


Other (Please specify) I don’t enjoy RAF life The provision of CEA


Access to affordable housing


Community spirit friendship and social life Living on the ‘patch’


His/her pay and/or pension


Secure employment for my partner The chance to live overseas


Living in different parts of the UK Secure Employment


Almost mirroring the same results as those for serving personnel, non-serving family members value the secure employment for their partner above all else. Tied in with the security offered to those personnel who live on the patch with other likeminded families it is no surprise that community spirit, friendship and the social life also feature highly in the responses received.


“Secure employment for my partner. The support and social side that the bases offer.” “Decent pension as he is long serving.” “I enjoy getting to know members of my husband’s squadron who have become friends.”
