Fishy
If you re-read my post you will actually find that I didnt say that. Actually I said the opposite in that AA who have gone for Officer selection have found IOT a stroll in the park in comparison to ITC.
Dont get me started on the recruiting centers, as many of those that work in these places have little or no idea what an AEOp (sorry WSOp) does; ALM - the glamour boys who rescue people, and Air Eng (sadly reducing in numbers) do some engineering type stuff probably in the air!
This is not me just making this up, it is a fact born out by an ex Adj of one the maritime Sqns who went to work in a CIO. He was the only one there who had any idea what AA did/do.
Because of this, then they will as you state just hand out forms (most likely to meet quota in todays corporate run armed forces). Whilst this is not ment to slate those that work in the recruiting offices, they can only pass on what theyve been told, which for AA is precious little.
