Wow this thread has really opened my eyes!
First of all thanks to everyone's who took time to reply!
Right I have a few more questions!
Basically I have rang my local AFCO about joining the RAF as a pilot and with the qualifications I have at present and my age he said that it would be very hard for me to acheive but is still possible!
Now the Navy route sounds very interesting! The qualifications I have got unfortunately are;
1 GCSE C grade in English
6 GCSE D grades!! (so close!!)
No A Levels
Now I'm not a stupid person I just never enjoyed school! Now if I went back to college to get my GCSE's and A-levels (not sure exactly how long this takes) what would be my next steps in joining the Navy as a pilot?
anotherchopride?! you mentioned the navy is currently recruiting aircrew, not pilot's! If I joined the Navy as aircrew would I be able to train as a pilot later on?? Are the navy going to be recruiting pilots in the near future?
Thanks for taking time out to read my long post! And sorry for all the questions that may seem very obvious to you but I really dont know how navy recruitment works!
Thanks again and any replies welcome!
