Guided Weapons is correct. The published upper age for RN/RM Aircrewman is 32. However, there can be exceptions to this and under current Merlin manning levels an age waiver more than likely would be granted

The RN direct entry option has now been postponed to post the Merlin Upgrade programme. So it is still a sideways entry branch

Obviously with your age if you were considering RN/RM then you will need to act fairly quickly. Make an appointment with the AFCO and see what branch will get you in to the RN the quickest (Do not look at submarines because you will not get out quick enough)

If you want any more info feel free to PM me

Good luck

However a civilian over 25 regardless of how well educated has little chance of sucess at OASC second time around.
Thats rubbish. I know at least 2 people that fit that criteria who have joined.

I suppose that is just a little better odds than a lottery win then.

Hi, sorry for bringing back an old post but just wanted to thank all you guys who replied for the advice and info. I was very fortunate and got a chance to finish off my WSOp selection recently and knew it was definitely the way I wanted to go. Last week I found out I've been accepted and I'm really looking forward to getting started. NCAITC does sound a little daunting but I do like a challenge and will work hard for it!

Thanks again.

For info:

You will most likely stream WSOp (Cmn), as the EW side will close down for 12 mths; they say it is due to the MRA4 coming on line and the trg changes needed...........But we'll see.

Well done.

cbzz101: Congrats and best of luck!

Could be the last?: That's not great news, i was just looking into applying for WSOp (EW)!

Anyone know who I should contact about a visit to the NCA school at Cranwell? I visited about 8 or 9 years ago and I imagine a few things have changed.
