"Navy Pilot" ad.
Seeing the current recruiting commercials on tv reminded me of my youth and the reson behind my eventual career choice.
The RN is advertising directly for pilots, the RAF is advertising that "you don't have to be a pilot to fly in the RAF".
All those years ago the RN recruiter asked me what I wanted to be in the Navy. I told him and we moved on to the next question. When the RAF chap asked me asked he got the same reply. He then asked me if I knew of any other jobs in the airforce, like catering. 30 years and 12,000 hours later I am eternally greatful to the RN for letting me achieve my ambition. I guess the RAF should be greatfull that they have had decent food for all that time as well!
Was any one else out there infuenced in the same way by these differing attitudes?
