Flight screening results
Hi,
Just wondering if they let you know how you went at flight screening after the OSB in Tamworth or later when you leave? I gather by some people stating that they got through they let you know straight away?
Sorry if this has already been asked, to many pages to look through.

Failing BFTS and 2FTS
Just wondering what happens to people that fail along the way to getting their wings?
Is their any obligation for return of service? Or do they just let you go from the ADF?
Thanks,

flying_chops,
I'm Army and about to start BFTS and if your Army, you can be scrubbed at any time even after you get your wings. I know guys who've been scrubbed with 2 Black Hawk flights to go.
If your SSO you're pretty much shown the door, GSO get streamed into another non-flying postion.
Not sure how RAAF and Navy work.

You Session
Thanks everyone for contributing to this huge thread.
I have a question, it may have been covered but i have gone through most of the pages and haven't seen it yet.
I have my You Session next week in Brisbane for direct entry Pilot and I am pre-empting a question similar to "if you are not successful for pilot entry what else would I consider". Now I am not sure how to answer a question like that.
The honest answer is that I only want to fly, my preference is with the Air force but if not successful I will look into other avenues like private lessons or uni. My lifelong dream is to fly in the airforce and not necessarily jets either, I would prefer the big stuff like C17's etc.
My issue is will this answer put me in a negative position with the recruiter because it might seem I am not dedicated to the RAAF?
My background I am currently 28, I am a qualified mechanic and am now a technical trainer.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hey there,
If anyone has completed assessment day recently, are you required to write an essay sometime during the day based on one of a few available topics/questions??
If so, does anybody know these topics/questions??
Cheers

Don't stress, you only get something like 15 minutes to do it anyway. Just show them you're not a brainless ****wit when it comes to your written expression, and try to appear at least moderately sane in the interview and you're well on your way to passing that segment of the Assessment Day.
