.....to have any realistic chance of a GOOD job, you will need 1500-2000 hrs in the Military. Do that in 12 years and I will take my hat off to you or any one else.....
Unless of course you went Rotary. Have lost count of the number of 1st / early 2nd tourists round here with over 1000hrs. In which case, 1500-2000hrs in 12 yrs is entirley realistic.
