startingout,
Hope you know I meant the Australian Defence Force..
Unfortunately, there are no shortcuts to be had. You start off at GF1 learning to taxi like everyone else..
Its hard going till the day you finish and get a posting order to your operational squadron (think 2 years or so), at least it was for this little black duck
Or do it hard in the bush...sup to you
Visit defencejobs.gov.au and get the lowdown, all the info is there.
My 2 cents...
