I really want ot be a junglies (Pilot).
When you get that far, you can express an interest, but the FAA will put you where it needs you.

I know that you have to have at least 5 GCSE between A* and C and 140 UCAS points,
It's now 180 points, and I doubt if someone who scraped 5 x C at GCSE would be up to a) getting the 180 UCAS points and b) passing AIB.

i have heard numerous peoples opinion but would a degree help me, if so any in particular??
It won't do any harm at all, and it gives you a personal safety net should you get chopped/medically downgraded. Graduates join with three years' seniority over non-grads, so they start on a higher pay level.

I also wonder about basic fitness levels on entry to the navy and for the all arms course?
The SK4 drivers don't need to do the AAC, though some might.

Fitness levels to pass AIB and enter BRNC are not extreme.
