Question Military Test Pilot

Hi all,

Have been reading through the various TP threads, but did not see any military specific threads.

Hopefully i will be studying Aeronautics and Astronautics (MEng) at Southampton, and following that I am planning i hope to join the Fleet Air Arm or the RAF. (I am aware that Southamptons UAS is based at Boscombe Down, so hopefully I can gain some more of an insight there.) However, is the military the best route for becominc a Test Pilot (and if so, which service would be best), or is it something I should aim to do after completing military service?

(I do all ready have a PPL and some glider flying, so im not a complete wannabe)

Many Thanks
