UGSAS

Hey

Joining UGAS, the interview will be in the 'Ante Room' in Park Circus. It should be pretty informal and much easier than the Cranwell interview.

As above; know your aircraft and recent developments with the RAF.

Why do you want to join? They really want you to say because you want to fly- there are very few places for ground entry, so say you go weak at the knees for flying... not literally of course!

World news is a big plus. If you research news topics that noone else uses, then this will make them really happy because they have to listen to the usual drivel of students who want to splurge about the first page of the Sun to them... Perhaps about the recent problems in Japan with the helicopter crash in Okinawa. How about the AEGIS system being implemented in Asia? Check out www.japantoday.com and this will surely impress...

Dress smart- no buttons on the shirt collar... perhaps oxford blue no gawdy colours... a good grey or black pin stripe makes a difference.

Dont figit. Sit with your legs open and don't fold your arms. Don't sit down until you are told.

Don't worry and if you don't know the question, tell them you don't! They will ask and ask and ask until they find you don't know anymore.

Plus if you get in, promise not to join the 'Hooray Henry' of being assholes who get immense pleasure about other people's failings.... These are the ones who have lots of money but claim to be poor. A turly romantic idea. Just like bhudda.


All the best
