Jetage. .I'm not sure how it is now, but wrt army and navy aviation:. .I believe that you sign up to join the army or navy, for x years, and it is then that they decide on where you will go, not before hand. With the RAAF, you know what you will be trained as before you sign the dotted line.
The eyesight limits published a few posts ago are for ALL ADF aircrew recruits, (to my knowledge anyway).
So iow, you may be led into thinking that you will be a chopper pilot, in order to get you to sign up, and then told that you'll be in logistics....
I was told this (not in so many words) by recruiting about 1.5 yrs ago, so it may have changed with this new flt screening system.
. .FishHead. .Thankyou very much for the info. You may have guessed where I was going with all that nav hrs as PIC talk, so I'll be straight; Do you know of any ex navs that have made it on the outside as professional pilots (flying intructors to airline pilots, doesn't matter what sort)?
Thanks again. .fnb
P.S. atleast you get out of good old Adelaide for a few months each yr!
