Just a thought, not trying to be negative here. If you are half way through WSO training, and are pro Air Defence, bear in mind that, if you go F3, by the time you finish WSO training and your OCU then you will have only one tour on F3s before they are totally replaced by Typhoon! It is coming, albeit late.

For all readers, with regard to the general theme of this thread. I started a poll on pprune months ago, which I am sure you could search for, with a title along the lines of 'Would you encourage your child to join the military'. Many of the replies, which ran to several pages, were discussions as to whether or not it was worth joining. I would recommend it as a read if this subject is of interest to you.
No doubt someone more computer literate than I can type in the thread name here to give more easy access than resorting to a search.
