The Military is a good place to go right now. Despite the propaganda ADF pilots have about the same amount of success as everyone else getting a jumper with the big Q. That said they do recieve great training and get to fly interesting types on interesting missions. Be warned though - if you don't get knuckle head you will more than likely struggle for hours and be posted to a ground job. This means you need a good career plan. Inter service rivalry is there. However since the introduction of tri-service basic flight training it has diminished. I trained army pilots on CT4 for years. Great Guys and Girls, Great times! The tri service work is also good fun with great people.Flight Screening was my last post and competition is high. If you get onto a FSP course, work like a demon. Its only a fortnight and it is a ONE shot opportunity.
