ez,
If you are going to join the RAF, you should really want it a lot more than you seem to. If you are unsure about what you want, you probably won't even make it through selection, bearing in mind there will be plenty of people there who've wanted to be RAF pilots since they knew they existed (
trust me - i'm one of them).
It's not just about flying, it's about using that flying to be a weapon, and especially in a FJ you cannot escape the serious jobs that RAF pilots do, so think very carefully. If you do decide it's what you want, persuade your parents (it will give you good interview practice), and the best of luck to you.
Also, good luck with aero engineering - i'm doing the same course.
Kind regards - Ginge
