I'm a bit fuzzy on the actual time frames beyond that but I think it's something along the lines of:

Hawk conversion and associated flying- 6 months.
2OCU- 6 months.

All in all, possible to be 21 going on 22 but lucky to be any younger than that. My hats off the our ADF drivers. Worth every penny.
