The SNCO Aircrew option is one you should bear in mind for a later date once you've been in for a little while. I have no doubt that you will do well and, if you keep your focus, I would be very pleased to see you succeed in becoming a commercial pilot in years to come.
All the very best with your ambitions.

Thanks Scroggs!
The SNCO Aircrew option is one that if I could go into from FOA, I would give it my best shot. I would need to find out how to go about getting this position but when the time comes after a few years in as FOA I'm sure someone will be able to advise me on how to go about doing things like that.
Thanks!

Edit:
One thing i did want to ask was: The corporal at the careers office said i should find a job or do a course, anything to do with my time so that it looks better in the interview when they ask "what have you been doing with your time?" and you dont say something like "well.... nothing much really..."
There isnt many jobs going around here (i live in a small town) but there is places to do full time and part time courses. I dont know how long it will be before they open the job selection again, it could be a month, it could be several months. What would be the best course to do? Without blowing my own trumpet, i am quite good with computer hardwear so maby a computer course? It might not be of use as a FOA but it would still be a "qualification" and may be of use later in life...
Your views are VERY welcome!
