Yeah I think you're right. It's not worth the risk me applying this year if I can do alot better next year. Unfortunately I was away for the UAS recruitment at my uni so I missed the deadline. The only way to get into the UAS now is to obtain sponsorship which requires the full OASC interviews etc, so I think I'll leave it til next year. I've got myself booked onto a base visit at RAF Wittering early next year so that should be good. I do gliding at Wittering so I arranged that one whilst I was there, but what's the best way of arranging these types of visits as I'd like to do a few, and do they have any aircrew specific visits.
