Woo, ive got my interview next, in about 3-4 weeks i think. Fantastic! Congratulations!! Don't stress about ADFA though. If you haven't quite made the grade, but are keen to get in, they'll assist you for sure. Are you in High School or Uni? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scouserlad13 0 Posted April 8, 2009 Fantastic! Congratulations!! Don't stress about ADFA though. If you haven't quite made the grade, but are keen to get in, they'll assist you for sure. Are you in High School or Uni? I wasnt really that bothered about ADFA anyway, i was just going to go direct entry. Im in high school at the moment, and im aware that i probably wont get through officer selection, but at least ive shown that ive got the aptitude to become a pilot. Besides, pilot is really the only officer job that i want to do, i dont want to be sat at a desk, my other choice is Avionics technician. And ive got the aptitude to do that.

SayethWhaaaa 245 Posted April 8, 2009 That's fair enough. If you're going in as a GSO, you won't have any problems (I reckons :smile). Plus, you're young, which helps if what you want isn't available to begin with. EDIT: Awww... crap. That means I'd have to start calling you sir eventually.

macelena 1,070 Posted April 8, 2009 Congrats, Scouser. I was also to try get a pilot, but i had no perfect vision. And my parents (don´t want me in the military) told me that i couldn´t get inside, even operated...when in fact i could, but learned when i was too old to repeat three years of school into "science" degree to get pilot... Erm sorry for carrying my s**t here, congatulations, hope the best for you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
