Army Air Corps....Advice please!!!
Firstly I hope I haven't replicated any threads already on here ref this subject but had a trawl and couldn't find much about it. Secondly, can't believe I've been a member of PPRune for ages but never posted, i suppose it proves what a wealth of knowledge is already here. I am currently serving with the Royal Marines and have huge aspirations of becoming a helo pilot. At 29 yrs old I have missed the boat on Fleet Air Arm and the RAF option left with the titantic, (i think they cut off at 12 these days) but alas I hadn't realised that the AAC still allowed a)up to thirty and B) NCO Pilots. Having gathered the information I need to move forward, I am concerned that my "bootie" background may not conform to what the AAC is after. I do, however, match all the required standards otherwise stated in the paperwork. I've tried to get hold of someone at Middle Wallop but no answers as yet (everyone's allowed leave) so in the mean time I thought, why not utilize the knowledge here. Quite literally any advice or ideas, hugely welcome and appreciated. Jock
