Hi everyone, my grandad requested this info for me. So ill explaine my situation a little better.

Im going to the royal air force regiment as a gunner in a few months time (couldnt chose pilot because of my glasses/asigmatism and no qualifications)

The minimum service time is 9 years so that would make me 26 when i could leave (young enough to still follow the pilot dream right right?)

What i though was that when in the RAF Regiment to get some GCSE's and maby A levels (if i can), and at the same time use my pay to first get the class 1 medical to see if i could fly for a airline, then build up my licences to frozen ATPL and possibly full/un-frozen ATPL.

So... by the time i come out thw RAF Regiment i should: be 26 with say 5 GCSE's, 2 A-levels, frozen/unfrozen atpl and a good background with a career in the armed forces (which i believe a lot of employers like)

Id like peoples oppinion on my "idea" please,
Thanks,
Martin
