Thanks, I was sure that was what you meant, but wanted to make sure that anyone else reading this, had it clarified as well.

I noted your mention of fear during ATC training...............I'm a civil ATCO (but have worked at a couple of joint units, hence the interest in Military controlling). Way, way back when I did my course, on the very first day, our course manager entered the classroom, introduced himself and said:

'Only one third of you will reach the end of the course, the rest will be 'chopped''

Nice way to start.........We didn't want to believe him, but he was absolutely correct. Only one third graduated. I think the odds are better these days

Keep safe!
