oz mate,
Crack on and get your qualifications and get in the service.
It's actually fairly cool in, even reading the down-beat posts that the RAF is being sent to s
t by the govt etc. Its still a great life.
As previously alluded to, the only major hassle that I've seen mates from minorities (ethnic, gender etc) have to deal with is the endless stream of
PR rollouts that they have to deal with.
If you can put up with being nudged in front of the cameras, you'll be fine!
Remember, virtually everybody in rates folk on ability. They'd be 'kin stupid not to.
Good luck
