The RAF long ago decided that in the contest between whether someone was a soldier or a tradesman, the tradesman aspect of their role came first. Certainly at present most RAF personnel will fire on a 25m range twice a year in order to maintain their Common Core Skills/Armed Guard status, unless they are deploying, in which case they will get more training and generally shoot up to whatever Annual Combat Marksmanship Test standard applies to non-infantry.

Obviously the RAF Regiment trains much more regularly, and to much higher standards, but then, we have to make sure the guins don't get disturbed when they are fixing their planes
