I see our annual military versus the rest of the world thread is back. Always a gem.
Just give me a bloke that can do the job and I couldn't give a rats where he came from.
In saying that I would prefer someone with some sort of track record of flying around solo for a few thousand hours without bending one then at least you know they have got something in the bag of talent when they reach into it when it all turns bad.
Now as far as cadets are concerned, they can of course work out fine but the screening and the training has to be rigorous and of course the willingness to cut a few if they can't perform has to be there and I think at CX we have let ourselves down in all those areas.
