Well said! Ignore the useless toss that some people feel impelled to post.
Best of luck with OASC! Don't let them try and put you on the back foot by offering anything other than Pilot. They will certainly try...you watch! If Pilot is all you want then tell them...they've accepted you once they'll take you again.
Regards
TF

As to the suggestion of Fighter Controller and the E3D, I think this is also a false dawn. They are a busted flush and they will almost all be replaced with WSOs in the coming years. What else we going to do with all those F3 Navs!
Good luck at OASC and say hello to me when i come to stores for a new blanket next year.

Cheers, Think that my chances are slim with getting back in as pilot, but going to apply for flight ops and TO as well (I've got a teaching degree) so might be back for an lovely blanket again in the future. Will have to keep all the fingers and toes crossed!

I think that TO is the way ahead for someone with a teaching degree. You could make a huge difference to a station if you are the proactive type. And sadly gone are the days when you were just left to get on with learning whatever new idea or piece of equipment they had just introduced. Good news for the TO world though.
I would imagine (though not in basic recruitment so dont quote me) that it would look better if you went in with the commitment towards a realistic trade and pleaded your case that you have turned over a new leaf.
So you wont be dishing out blankets, but devising a training syllabus for those that do! Good luck

I think if I get to OASC again and thay ask me about teaching and my decision for TO, I'll have a lot more reasons at my disposal to convince them why I want to do it in the raf as I have already done the comparable job in civvy street.
As far as the blanket stacking training........ well I'll have to give that some more thought.

Join the Navy then. We are gagging for Pilots/Aircrew or whatever you wanna call us....AND we'll call youi a pilot from day 1...whether youv'e seen an aircraft or not...In fact the day you join BRNC you will be classified as a pilot.
and there will be no awkward questions as to why you ditched the crabs...

I agree with Hyd3 here.
If you really want to fly you shouldn't accept TO or Flt Ops. Maybe the Navy is the best way for you to go to stay in the air.
The last thing you want is to think "what if?" ten years down the line.
You don't have to withdraw your OASC application, simply walk down to the Forces Careers Office and speak to someone in dark blue about going to sit AIB as well.
Good luck

JRM,
Caution! Don't show all your cards at once! The RAF is very short of JO TOs and will bite your hand off if you proffer it! Keep it up your sleeve and wait until the hangar doors close with you on the outside before you give up on pilot.
