Raf regiment question?

Not really sure about most of the stuff about how long it takes for things to happen but i thought i'd answer a few questions. Being in the scouts probably wont have any effect on your application, only to the extent that you may utilise many of the skills its given you. In terms of differences between the RAF Regiment and the Royal Marines, yes their primary role is to guard RAF assets at home and in the field, this does not mean that they never see action, they saw a lot of fighting and came under attack a lot in their attempts to make Kandahar safe, but i certainly wouldn't have thought you'de see anywhere near the same amount of action with them as you would in the Royal Marines, unless you are placed in one of the small units within the regiment that support special forces operations.
