Gday mate.

Ive spent 4 yrs in the RAAF, unfortunatly not as a pilot. I failed my medical due to eyesight.

it depends what your after. I will have my CPL in 12 or so hrs and will fly civi, however, if i had half a chance flying military, i would jump at it.

The flying is so different! especially on depolyments. If your airlines orientated, then get in the military and go for the C130's they average around 5-600hrs a yr. Thats not too bad. get posted to 34SQN on the VIP or the new AWACS at 2SQN and get jet time up too.

Do your time and get out into the airlines. Plenty of RAAFies now flying CX and QF.

I know if i had half a chance to go military, i wouldnt think twice.

Good luck.
