army air corps

I'm intrigued by crashondeck's comments on direct entry to the AAC, as I thought you had to be a regular soldier for a while before applying.

The possibility of being stuck in the infantry has always been enough to put me off applying, so could anyone now shed some light on the selection process for me? What are the selection criteria, what length of service would I have to sign up for, and what about pay/conditions/annual flying hours etc? Also, as I am 23, what would be an adequate reason for not joining/showing interest before now?

A friend of mine was turned down for an engineering job in the RAF as he didn't have enough military experience [they suggested he join the TA and come back next year]. I don't think 2 years in the Air Cadets will count, so how would I get around this?

Any info. will be greatly appreciated. I'll try the Mil forum if no response and delete this post.

Cheers for now,
Phil.
