In all honesty, probably not unless you really really want it and can see yourself wearing Flt Lt rank slides and being content to leave the hands on spanner work to others whilst you do all the other bits and pieces associated with keeping things running. Regardless of Branch, none of them are easy options, and you first need to convince yourself that you should be there before trying to convince OASC who will ruthlessly exploit any chinks in your armour to see how you respond . You probably can do it, but you need to train yourself to believe that first.
