I would suggest to the Aidanjeez that he consider the following as he plots the course of his career:
I've been wanting to be a fast jet pilot for quite some time and like the idea of the royal navy , so i did some browsing a while ago and say the Aircrew officer pilot job description , read it and thought it was perfect for me ( bare with me).
Do you have 20/20 vision?
Are you an adrenaline junky?
(You seem self confident, so that's good.)
Are you willing to work your backside off?
What does it mean when someone says clockwise?
Do you realize that there are these neat machines known as helicopters that the Royal Navy flies?
Does that interest you?
I ask for the following reason: when I was in flight school, I wanted to be a jet pilot, but the breaks and my flying skills didn't quite match up. I ended up a Navy helicopter pilot. It was a good thing.
In other words, what is your plan B?
