Don't get me wrong at all i am well aware that when your in the Armed Forces you there for a reason,and being called into action is an occupational requirement, don't worry i haven't overlooked that, i fully understand the duties of a military pilot.
Jockspice, thanks for the reply in particular, your where i want to be,would it be possible for you to tell me are you a fixed or rotary flyer,and is the RN everything you expected it to be or more?.
Sorry if i'm intruding a bit but it would be nice to get some.... i suppose inside information , the path you took etc.
THANKS
