Late bloomer

Hi guys. Would like some input. I'm 37, recently left a career of 13 years, have aircraft engineering qualifications and 170 recent hours PPL. I spoke today with the Flight Crew recruiter from the Air Force, and he was keen for me to apply. Now I don't want to set myself up for failure, but I am drawn to the flying that military does, and the security the mob offers.

I figure with an 06 intake, 3 years to graduate, 10 years contracted, I'm only 51, and got plenty of life left in me.

I'm fit, healthy, althletic, run 10k in 40 mins, so the physical side doesn't intimidate me.

Would appreciate some informed comment.

cheers
