Hello, I'd like to join the RAF as a pilot.
I'm afraid it's not that easy sir. You can join as an officer and see where you end up.
Well, where could I end up?
Admin, supply, ATC, or pilot.
That doesn't make much sense. How does that work?
Well you do IOT then a generic officer course, bit of blanket stacking, couple of days in HR, bit of pilot stuff. At the end, we see how many pilots we need and select them from the crowd.
That's very odd. So I don't actually know what job I will be doing until I am a year into my career?
Yes. That's right. It was seen to work for the WSOp's.
Thank you. Goodbye
