Applying for more than one service - possible?

Hi Guys and Gals,
After getting much better than expected A-level results I am now about to start the application process for the RAF to go in as a pilot . However, I've also been thinking about the Army Air Corps and Fleet Air Arm (Truth is I don't mind which service I go into, so long as i'm doing what I love the most - flying). So, is it possible to apply to all three at once? If anyone could shed light on the subject it would be of great assistance!

Cheers,

Ox

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

It is certainly possible to have concurrent applications on the go. This can also add a frisson to the selection. Suppose you were accepted by one and then have the next selection a couple of weeks later. You will be relaxed and the selectors will be under-pressure if you are really good.

Good luck.

It's definitely possible to apply for all three at once, but I wouldn't tell them that in the interview............

If you want to go AAC remember that, unlike Dartmouth or Cranwell, you don't enter Sandhurst as a 'Pilot' - you have to graduate near the top of your intake for the AAC to consider you.

Other than that, think about what aircraft you want to fly and what branch you might consider if you get chopped before deciding on what service to join.

Oh, and most importantly, whether you want to wear a blue-grey, green, or black suit!

Good luck with the applications!
