recruit training 24th april

Post by welzy »

hi guys, so this is the date i've been given to start training, and was just wandering if anyone else has been given this date or are aiming for it.
Really cant wait to get started now, ow well not too long to go.

yeah ive got another friend who is hoping to get the same date as me.
This was the first date i was given, even though i passed back in december, i needed to finish at uni before i could go in. so ive bin going crazy waiting to start, not long to go now though.

i've got the qualifications and they did ask me to apply in the afco, but for some reason after watching the videos and reading the booklets i just thought that it wouldnt really suite me. plus i would have had to wait alot longer to go in. dont get me wrong i do want to go up the ranks but i would rather go the non commisioned route, just think im not really the officer type. hard to explain but hopefully you understand what i mean?
