Sorry to drag this one up again lads, hope you dont mind a few more questions!

Im currently at University, and will be applying to join the RAF in 2years.....

I would love to be a pilot, but think age and medical problems will exclude me (eyes), 2nd choice (well...first really since I acknowledge it'd take a mircale to get pilot considering), being WSO (as I fit the medical/age requirements).....but anyway, if found unsuitable.....Engineering Officer....

(Sorry about the above, bit boring )......

I am studing an Aerospace Engineering Degree, combined with the JAR-66 B1.1 License, as a backup plan really.....as I want spend my career in the RAF, not civvy street.

Would having the JAR66 license help with being an Engineering Officer? A lot of people are telling me to stay Civvy since I will have the license to do so....

An interesting point is the RAF are sending 6 people to where I am studying to gain JAR66 Licenses for the A330 Tankers that may be coming in!


Cheers lads!
