Flying a plank?? Eyyyyy?

Take it you mean a desk?

The way I see it, the RAF has got to be at least very seriously considered. You sound fairly time conscious, so the fact that RAF IOT is half the length of the other two services' Offr trg (same content but without the extra drill!) and that the RAF seems to be trg a lot of rotary guys at the mo, have got to work in your favour. You may have read about the FJ situation, so my guess is if u finish EFT and request Rotary, it's probably yours - unless you're the kiddy and are sent the winner's way! I wouldn't recommend turning up at OASC with such open wishes for Rotary, they're still keen for every candidate to want to be a Harrier/Typhoon pilot.

Nice one on dropping that, possibly accidental, crab/junglie comment on the FAA. I wait with baited breath for the standard, reliably average fish-head retorts!

Best of Luck
