Absolutely. Going to a comprehensive has nothing to do with your chances of selection. Out of 6 on my tac weapons course, only 2 are public school types. Andy, was in exactly the same position as you a few years ago. Yes, the sixth form scholarship is worth it. If nothing else, it gets your foot in the door and gives you a better chance of joining as a direct entrant, if that's what you want. The ATC is also useful. Not so much as you progress, but certainly when you first join with marching and the like. Also, had a great time. As for the specifics of what OASC are looking for, drop me a line and I"ll try to remember what went through my mind at the time. Oh, I think you'll prefer the RAF to sharing a tin can with sweaty Naval types......
