I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Fair dink, and I can see you corrected the spelling error in Akrotiri. Also to be fair, I don't think they will let you near a keyboard at OASC.

Accuracy or otherwise at IOT is another matter and really a matter of good habbits, a bit like servicing a tonka.

Good luck. They will try and bring out the best in you.

And where is my bad spelling?
Nice attempt to cover up your spelling SAC. Didn't you think someone might have read it before you amended it? There is also a tiny little giveaway...

I think his attempts at trying to cover up his mistakes and then deny everything comes under the heading of integrity. Whoops.

Jeez......If OASC expect you to know that, then good luck !

As for why is Akt important, you could always tell them that it's important to have a holiday camp for morale and not everyone wants to work after 3pm . . .. .

HELP!

I'd appreciate someone letting me know what you recommend I start reading with regards to prep for the OASC interview. Current Affairs topic, RAF past and present to what depth etc....

Having passed OASC two weeks ago (and awaiting the result of the competitive selection in April) I'll be happy to answer any questions on OASC that you may have.

I've also spoken to a couple of TA bods with mixed views about using it as a springboard into the regs - especially in today's climate where the TA cannot afford time wasters.
After my unsuccessful visit at OASC about three years ago, I had a frank and honest chat back at the recruiting 'shop' to discuss my performance at OASC with the Officer who put me forward.

This recruitment Officer was sick of getting reports back from OASC recommending that candidates should join the TA before re-applying for the RAF again. He was recruiting for the RAF not the Army, he said.

It seems that 'Join the TA' is a standard response from OASC now. I understand why, for all the reasons of outdoor pursuits, practical problem solving, fitness and leadership in a military environment, but note your point about how the TA cannot accept time wasters! Interesting!
