And for the last 2 or 3 years VR(T) have gone through OASC.
Indeed (although it's closer to 5 years IIRC). Additionally VR(T) Officers who have not previously held regular commissions are initially appointed as Officer Cadets and are required to do a weeks Initial Officers' Course at the Adult Training Facility at RAFC Cranwell within a calendar year of their appointment date, after which they are commissioned as Pilot Officers. Failure to complete the course to a satisfactory standard within the timescale results in removal from the VR(T).
