Thanks for the sage advice. i have had limited exp of the services through the URNU but decided not to pursue at the time because eyesight prevented me from the flying route i preferred. Do u think that a negative answer to 'would u join the navy as a warfare officer if not pilot?' would be seen poorly - or is it a case of hold ur own convictions and stick to them. I'm just musing at this time so thanks for any comments. Cheers.
