Mate, my application is 2 and 1/2 years old so I'm not impatient that's for sure.. I've had every thing thrown at me in the selection process, been recommended twice and still here, no question of giving up.
Army is for me because I want choppers, simple as that. That's where it's at for me. If RAAF still had the choppers, that would be my 1st preference. Like I said though, I wouldn't turn down an offer from any service but my passion lies with the choppers, low level, in the weeds and carrying the troops!
