Reesty,

PDS is correct.

Having been a nav (chopped pilot), always start at the top.

If you're seriously good you can develop an outstanding superiority complex - see first post on Single Pilot Ops. Even if you're not so good,it's better doing 'doors to manual'in your dotage as PDS is doing ('doors to manual' in a fighter is pronounced 'eject, eject, eject').

PDS is also right about your spelling etc. It will be checked during your training. I have known potential officers recoursed/chopped during officer training for some very improbable non-flying things. If you start officer training fit and literate, you're well on your way to passing!
