Hi there. .. .I was wondering if there are any RAF or Navy pilots out there (or anybody else for that matter) who have some good advice for someone like me who is very keen to be a fighter pilot??. .. .I was recently declined an opportunity to visit the OASC at RAFC Cranwell at an Armed Forces Careers Office filter interview on the grounds that I had insufficient leadership experience.. .. .I have been encouraged to re-apply after one year following positive action on my part to gain the required experience.. .. .I have already joined the Air Training Corps as a Civilian Instructor, enrolled in a First Aid Course to commence next month with a view to joining the St Andrews Ambulance(Scottish equivalent of the St Johns Ambulance) and booked a three-week course with Outward Bound. Hopefully once I join the St Andrews Ambulance I will also attempt to join the Special Police. I am also going to try and undertake a Duke of Edinburgh Award. Not that I cannot speak correctly, but I thought it may enhance my chances to attend some elocution lessons for that bit of polish. Impressions are everything at interviews are they not? Especially for those interviews where places are so fiercely contested.. .. .What I am asking in this post is:. .Is what I am doing the right way to go?. .Are there any things above which are a waste of time?. .Are there any things you can suggest I do which are not listed above?. .Are there any other societies or associations I could join which would help me?. .. .Thank you very much for your time <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /> . .. .Sincerely. .Paul. . . . <small>[ 20 March 2002, 23:02: Message edited by: HARERJJ ]</small>
