Like you, I haven`t got a clue, mate 8)
am hoping to become a pilot, i will fly anything if need be but I really want to become a fast jet pilot, does anybody know what teh RAF will be looking for when it comes down to RAF pilot

I keep hearing of people who are questioning whether the ATC is worth it. And in some cases I can see why some would not want to stay because of the example the Civilian staff and Adult NCO's set

What does para training consist of?

Just to let you know, Air Cadets is seriously worth it, but remember that some SQNs just dont do the job properly, at our SQN (213 squadron rochester) their is nearly always something on the weekends ...

I have got 2 questions first one is how much would a range of awards within the ATC on my 3822 (logbook) help me become a pilot in the RAF along with a good GCSEs in English, maths, history, resitant

Dear Unsure Down Under ....

Try this test first :-

http://www.begent.org/intelquiz.htm

Then you can decide if you prefer walking or flying -
or walking home after flying ..... or doing wet things
after flying and walking smartly .....

Make a list and use the 'pin' method .....

Let us know your choice ....

Well then - that rules out others having a try then .....

But did it help you to decide what you want to be when you grow up ?
