Could anybody please give advice?

Hello everybody and before asking for advice i would first like to say thanks a lot for looking at my post.

I have always wanted to become a pilot since my dad took me to an air show at the age of 7, at that time i did not really know much about the aircraft or aviation in general. but the thought of flying for me was just amazing, call me sad but the most enjoyable part of a holiday is the flight, i just love flying so much .

I am now 17 and about ready to apply to the Royal Navy as an Officer Pilot but before doing so i have been looking around for advice, i have gone to careers advisors, recruitment centers and have searched the RN site and was hoping i could get some information from this forum.

Before applying i would just like to know if there is anything that could increase my chances and better myself with qualifications. In total i have:

280 UCAS points from BTEC Business (Merit, 80pts) BTEC ICT (Merit, 80pts) and Welsh Baccalaureate (Pass, 120pts)
C grade in AS Level Physics
GCSE English Language - C
GCSE English Liturature - C
GCSE ICT - C
GCSE Science - C
GCSE Mathematics - C
GCSE Additional Science - C
CAD NVQ Level 1 (C equivalent)
CAD NVQ Level 3 (A* equivalent)
I also have a Private Pilots License (PPL)
I have the Duke of Edinburgh Gold award
and i have also been in the Air Cadets for 2 years.

Any advice given will be much appreciated, thanks again for reading my post.
