branch change

Hello all,

New to this web site and was wondering if there was anyone out there who could offer some advice.

Went to Oasc in feb 04 with my choice of branches being pilot and WSO, I was a raf vr pilot on Emuas having completed about 19 sorties. After three different "selection meetings" and 9 months later I was informed I was a strong candidate but didnt get it due to uncompetative aptitude scores, which for pilot I got 128.

I'm aware due to cut backs the recruiting numbers have been dramatically reduced.

Therefore wrote to them explaining I would like them to consider me as fighter controller and have recently been accepted on to an IOT starting at the beginning of next year.

Was wondering what the policy and chances are of a branch change to pilot/wso when i come out of IOT.

Also would appreciate any information from fighter controllers as to what i can expect after successfully completing IOT.

Any feed back would be much appreciated.

Cheers guys.
