The SAAF Forum

Hi guys, I am planning to send my application for the Air Force in the next week or two. I have a few application forms, but they are the old versions without the NSC-level on them. I have downloaded the newer version. My question now is, do I simply just print the form and use that or should I acquire a original hard-copy? Also, I would like to know what else should be included in my application. I have read of cover letters, motivational letters, etc. that should accompany applications (what should this letter contain??) and I know that I need a copy of my ID. If anybody can help me with anything else that should accompany my application, it will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you.

Exactly what it says. I think if you have the motivation you wont have trouble saying what you have to...I would imagine stating that you understand flying for themis a lifestyle not just a job and THAT is why you want to fly for the Air Force not because your seeing it as a stepping stone to airliners. You can go on. Its almost like being in love, the words come from the heart try to place yourself in their position.

But call them! ask them what needs to to be in the application form. Talk a bit with the people on the other side. If you can make them understand you have passion then they will make sure nothing goes wrong with the form. Thats how mine got accepted without me even giving a motivational letter.

Thank you very much. I will certainly give them a call. And if you don't mind me asking, when did you apply? How did it go? Again thank you, I will start working on that letter.

Don't forget a copy of your matric certificate/latest school certificate. Also remember that all copies must be certified.
I don't see a problem with submitting a printed version of the form. I had an original and made a copy and used the copy and they were fine with it.

The motivational letter is just that; you are motivating your decision to join the air force. It should be in the format of a formal letter.

The application form should state everything that must accompany the form.
