Thanks for the kind advice guys!
I shall organise getting a Class 1 conducted within the next few weeks - if time permits. Still pretty busy completing Year 12. I certainly don't want my dream shattered! I know we have a DAME just around the corner from where I live, so I'll try pop down and organise it.
I'm hoping for a good cadet scheme to pop up, which seems to have occurred with the Virgin Australia cadetship announced yesterday. So hopefully that'll relieve my worries if I can get into it. Although only 8 people are accepted - so I have to try my best and hope.
I'll try not come across as a smart ass redsnail. I assure you I am not, it's just I come across as one... I've been trying to fix that for a while, lol.
Thanks again 2close and redsnail. Much appreciated and all taken down!
