Military training was cut cut and cut some more around the time I went through. I had to take all the ATPL exams when I had years of service and thousands of hours. There were no exemptions in the 1990s available to the likes of me. When I took all the exams I learned a LOT of stuff that the military didnt teach me. I learned a lot of guff as well!
In my opinion, military pilots need to do these exams, ONCE! This 7 year rule is just another CAA 'hoop' to jump through, thought up by european minded blunties........
