Those who've done their fluffy EO training will know the difference between 'banter' and 'harassment'. It's all in the perception of the person to whom the comment is addressed, not the comment itself.
Regrettably much of this is lost on dimwitted dinosaurs!
Enjoy Brizzle, gunners! When you go to the Freshers' Fair (are they still called that) ask at the UAS stall about the potential conflict between sufficient flying currency to progress at a rate which will give you the best chance of FJs and the requirements of your degree course. Ask them whether it'd be better to concentrate on getting a good degree first and then to join the RAF as a Direct Entrant. Whilst you would undoubtedly have a terrific time on the UAS (even Brizzle) you must consider the balance between work, play and your future career!
BTW- do you have any flying experience at the moment?
Edit for clarification: The reason I ask is that if you have any flying scholarship, gliding or microlighting experience, you might want to look at the newly-launched NPPL. But if you haven't any flying experience yet, you would certainly need to maintain good continuity during your first few formative flying sessions.
