Hey Tom, best of luck.
I hate to use cliches, but been there done that and got the t-shirt. I actually went to Cranwell after accepting a ground commission, bu they managed to break my legs (literally)
I am now a lot older and wiser, and if you are ever blessed with children you will realise where I am coming from. Stay single and 'selfish' and you will realise your goal in a very short space of time.
The older you get, the bigger the fall if it all goes wrong. THAT, is why I have to build my path with a f@ckin big safety net, cos my vision isn't all that is at stake.
Once again, hope it comes your way
