The latter might make NCA more attractive- better pay early on, fewer BS jobs, almost certainly no ground jobs etc. Just a thought.

Hi CharlieGolf
I would say a lifer. I am a bit older at 25 and I am leaving a well paid career, albeit one I find wholly unfulfilling, to join the RAF. I have been fortunate enough to be able to buy a house and as such, my current career has now served it’s purpose. Having ‘been there and done it’, I know a desk job isn’t for me.
Cheers for the insight,
