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

I believe you might be in a syndicate of 10-12 with perhaps 4 at a time.

Lots of speed,distance,time calculations as well as basic mental arithmetic. I am using a scrap book which contains everything i need to know (hopefully) including all things RAF, defence issuses, current affairs, everthing about NCA. I am getting to know my application form inside out and practicing interview questions.

Good luck, but remember that no matter how much prep you put in they will allways bowl you a bouncer that will be impossible to hit! How you handle it will count as much as how much prep you do, although an obviously prepared, and therefore confident, candidate will be noted. And enjoy it! Put the loud handle through the firewall, give of your best, be honest and have a good time!

Best of luck to you guys off to Cranwell, I have my filter interview tomorrow so i'm just making sure i'm as prepared as I can be. When did you guys pass your filter interview? I'm just wondering how long you had to wait until you're off to Cranwell, just so I can get an idea of the amount of preparation time I have for OASC if I pass through tomorrow.

Advance the Throttle(s), forward, hence increasing the engine noise, through the 'Gate' (a small but noticable indent) to engage Reheat power, whereby increasing the noise (And available thrust) significantly. This allows the craft to be accelerated to the extreme margins of the envelope. ie. 'Freakin Out There Man!'

Make sure they have actaully got vacancies!!! Sounds stupid but its happend... to me!! I went through just as the doors closed as the defence cuts took hold a few years ago. Selection went perfect, no jobs, but still put me through all the crap.
As we predicted then in the bar one eve back in 2003, the backfire to the defence cuts has come, and now they are screaming for Officers/NCA. Get in there while you can.
Good luck.
ps all the prep in the world wont get you anywhere. Your face has to fit, simple as that.

Matt,
You've had a bad press recently but your last post was spot on.
You could have gone on to mention that Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance
but clearly silk purses and sows ears also apply.
Looking on the positive side of failure: preparation and interview are all good life skills which, if properly covered, could be a positive asset in a CV, bit like, BA (Calcutta) (Failed), but at least tried.
