Ok here goes.
OASC Cranwell. Standard Officer and Aircrew selection Centre stuff.
12 or so weeks on NCAITC at Cranwell. Initial type training/welcome to the RAF and some leadership/written and oral comms.
24 week generic course at Cranwell, where you learn a bit of rotary/FW and AEOp stuff. Then you are streamed. With your background, Id be suprised if you didnt go Rotary.
6 Week Rotary stream phase at Shawbury.
42 Weeks at DHFS on the MERW Course. (This may be getting condensed to 16 Weeks in the future). Streamed at the end of this to Type. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE YOU WILL GET YOUR CHOICE.
OCF, which in the case of the Wokka, is 6 Months. Then you make it onto a Sqn as LCR and begin the hard work.
Any of the gaps between the various elements may include a hold of anything up to 2-3 Months.
In short, you are looking at roughly 3 years to CR, and maybe not the aircraft you wanted. I would have a long think first mate, as life is no bed of roses over here either. The turd sandwich may have a sugar coating, but the filling still tastes the same.
Good luck with what ever you decide. If you want to come and visit or chat to the boys....PM me
