Military Route

It's one viable but very uncertain route. The following points should be clear:
1. If you are successful to join as a cadet, 3 yrs of basic military training awaits you at the Defence Forces Academy in Nakuru Lanet.
2. Joining as a cadet is quite competetive and the Air Force is even harder as it takes even fewer individuals to join.
3. After the 3 yrs of Basic Military Training, a number of the officers are selected to join flying training school for their flying training. Completion isn't assured .
4. If you successfully graduate from the flying training, you are tracked on the three 'types' that every Air Force flies; fighters, transport planes and helicopters. If you fly choppers, your chances of joining KA diminishes quite substantially.
It's a long process and if you are joining with the sole aim of gaining the experience inorder to look for a job, you may reconsider.
