semisonic, interesting - when i applied originally in 1998, myself and the others i was with, although successful, were told only if we'd passed or failed aptitude (i did the tests for the FAA). having passed for pilot and observer i joined the RAF as a pilot and was chopped at the end of JEFTS. i didn't get any more detailed info (including the fact i'd probably have been better suited to being a nav) until i was chopped, generally treated like trash, and thinned out onto the streets. i'm now in the RN and wish I'd come straight here!
best of luck
