AUSSIE ARMY
Comments provided the kiowa pilot is pretty spot on. I know that the guy involved in lateral recruiting for the army is a PPrune member, so you will probably find he may contact you. You may be best served by asking one of our guys who transfered over to the pom army what things are like over here. We had a number of guys go over about 4-5 years ago. I suspect the grass is no greener - we certainly have issues but I am sure the aussie army can assure you of a warmer climate. You have a choice - sub tropical or tropical.
We are very short of pilots, particularly QFIs (our speak for QHIs). We are having issues with training and retention. I know of a number of laterals who are in the process of coming over or at least considering options. If you wish for contacts give me a PM.
