Life Experience..
Hi guys,
As some of you will know I was turned down by the RAF due to my legs being 14mm too long. I am now looking into the Navy and hope to apply sometime in 2009.
But...
I have a few friends who have been to OASC having had a excellent review and told to go away and gain some life experience. One lad went, after getting 167 on aptitude and also a former sixth form scholar. His interview was good and medical excellent.
Firstly why are they asking this when they are tremendously under manned in terms of aircrew and secondly what is there to do. I would like to apply before I'm 19 and get my career well underway. Im not favourable towards university for the exact same reason and afraid that a gap year may portray me as a dosser - also the cost is immense.
Any ideas...?
Dave
