Seriously Mate! If you have a partner who isn't "in" to the service way of life and can put up with the many, and lengthy, separations then I would look somewhere else for a career.

The divorce rate amongst aircrew is infamously high and the strains of the training regime will not help to consolodate your relationship. Unless she is a "mate" who understands why it's necessary to get pissed and return home with the boys in tow looking for egg banjos at 2 in the morning then forget it.
