Thanks to all that had the time and energy to look over this thread, and give it your attention.
But with the current environment of Aviation and the amount of clerical BS I would have to endure in going back down the Military pathway - as said by the training officer handeling my file - again with no guarantees of flying, I have taken up a well paid and placed 'civi' job that in fact pays more than what I would get in the RAAF (first year training).
I in no term criticise the longing to get in, and wish each and everyone of you there the best. I would happily trade jobs. But being realistic, I have the opportunity now to fly for a living and that is what I have always wanted...
Maybe in another life!
