Thanks for the replies folks
I am really keen to follow my heart and go into the RAAF as an ATC Officer........ ( I've passed all the aptitude tests, but had to suspend my app 12 months ago due to a relocation to woop woop with work)
Long term career progression outside of the RAAF has been a big worry for me and has been the one thing that has kept me from taking the step..... I don't mind doing validations and exams to move on in life..... That's aviation!!!! I just don't want to get stuck in the RAAF forever if I decide it's not the life for me after doing my time.....
As long as the experience gained in the ADF is of value in the outside world, it's got to be a great career move
Anyone else with any info?????
