Thank you all so much for your replies! That has lifted a huge weight off my shoulders.
Ceannairceach - Yes, I applied last year in September and got to the final and 3rd stage where I failed on the interview. The feedback I got back suggested that I should visit a site (Control Tower or the like) to get a better understanding of what an ATCO does. Which I have done recently. That clarified it for me! I definitely want to be an ATCO!
055166k - No, it was just one of those, as 'arctic radar' put it, silly "moments of teenage madness" which will NEVER happen again! These days I rarely drink, maybe once every two weeks if the rugby is on...and special occasions of course! But if there ever was a rule that came in banning me from ever drinking again, just so I could be an ATCO, hehe, I would never touch a drop again!
Once again thanks to everyone! Hopefully I'll see you on shift in the future!
