I appreciate your comments, Im just looking at my options at the moment. My dad was a pilot in the navy (rotary) and said I should consider it as an option, which is what Im doing. Its a big step signing up for a considerable time so Im just enquiring, doesnt necesarily mean Im looking to join for 2 years get trained and then **** off to civilian life again! Im merely considering my options and given Ive never tried anything like the navy before, its a rather daunting thought. apologies to those of you ive pissed off
