YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO FORGIVE ME FOR POSTING ON YOUR FORUM,SHOULD REALLY BE IN THE WANNABE SECTION BUT I DON'T THINK I'LL GET ANY REAL ANSWERS IN THERE SO HERE I AM.
I DON'T WANNA BORE YOU GUYS WITH USUAL WANNABE BS BUT I HAVE TO EXPLAIN MY SITUATION SO HERE GOES.I'M LOOKIN FOR SOME ADVICE ABOUT JOINING THE RAAF(AUSTRALIAN) AS A FOREIGN CITIZEN. MY PLAN ORIGINALLY WAS TO JOIN THE RAF THROUGH A UNIVERSITY AIR SQUADRON.I'M IRISH AND AFTER ENROLLING IN EDINBURGH UNIVERSITY FOR THIS PURPOSE AND GAINING A PPL BEFORE HAND TO UP MY CHANCES I WAS INFORMED BY THE GOOD PEOPLE AT LEUCHARS THAT DUE TO CHANGES BY THE MOD, IRISH CITIZENS COULD NO LONGER BE COMMISIONED AS OFFICERS IN THE RAF.BUMMER!
I'M TWENTY NOW AND NOT GETTING ANY YOUNGER.AFTER REAVALUATING MY SITUATION I DECIDED TO GO THE CIVVY ROUTE.SHOULD BE FINISHIN UP IN ABOUT SIX MONTHS.MY PLAN IS TO FLY COMMERCIALLY FOR AT LEAST TWO YEARS THAT WAY I'LL QUALIFY FOR AN AUSTRALIAN IMMIGRANT VISA AND THEN I'LL BE ABLE TO APPLY TO THE RAAF.SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO THIS BY THE TIME I HIT 24,GIVING MYSELF SOME EXTRA TIME AND I KNOW THEY RECRUIT UNTIL THE AGE OF 40.
MY QUESTION TO YOU GUYS IS DOES THIS ALL SOUND TOO FAR FETCHED OR DO YOU THINK I HAVE HALF A CHANCE?DO YOU KNOW OR KNOW OF ANYONE WHO HAS ALREADY DONE IT?ANY ADVICE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECITED.
THANKS!
