A few weeks ago I went to the Navy's selection board to try and get in as an Air Trafficker there. They told me to come back in 12 months, which is fair enough and I have every intention of doing that.
However if for whatever reason that doesn't work out, I'd want to join NATS instead.
Would it be a good idea to apply to NATS now and just not tell them that I'm planning to join the RN? I know the selection process can take a while, so I may not even be at/near to being at Bournemouth by the time AIB rolls around again but if I did get an offer from the Navy would I be able to pull out of anything with NATS straight away? And what's the best way to handle the issue... just not tell both potential employers about each other?
