Heights good post is excellent.
I was given all sorts of options - I considered them all and enlisted in the Regiment. I chose it, it didn't choose me. The idea of plodding away in some hangar or workshop on an aircraft filled me with absolute horror (still does) and, if I could do it all again, I probably would have looked more deeply into commissioning or aircrew possibilities. I was only considering six years craic and then leaving, however (I would have joined the Marines if they weren't full). That's what you get for being a latent underachieving hyperbolic discounter, I guess.
This thread is hysterical.
