Tips for Air Corps interview process.

[EJBAILY]

Hi All.

I am currently filling in the Army application forms with the intent of going into the Army Air Corps. I don’t know anyone who is in the Army let alone the Air Corps, therefore at an end who to ask for advice. Could anyone with experience of the process please offer any tips or hints that would help me prepare for the up coming process. Any information given would be much appreciated.

Kind Regards.,

Ed.

Excellent, thank you very much.

I would not get too excited. When WILDCAT (read small white elephant) gets cancelled in the forthcoming defence review, the AAC will be for the chop and you will be headed for the infantry! Suggest you go for the light or dark blue now.

Spin, thats a bit harsh isn't it?
The bloke is embarking on one of the most exciting periods of his life. 'All power to him'. You never know, he may end up in space!

I am sure that many of us wish tha we were in his position, at an age with a 'wide blue yonder' in his personal HUD.

Constructive nudging yes, but stamping on hopes won't help. Even if life does add a taste of citrus as you get older.

A pair of slightly-too-short red jumbo cords, a check shirt and a pair of brown Church brogues is a good start...

...and an incontinent Springer.

How about getting a swathe of red hair and changing your name to Wales.....oh damn somebody already thought of that.

That would be after the RAF has been taken over by the FAA? Judging by the excellent way the Apaches are performing and being used by the AAC the RAF won't be getting their hands on them anytime soon!

Sorry, your Tristar back from Afghanistan is cancelled. No, it's perfectly serviceable, but we're having a bit of a cocktail party, followed by a flypast and rig run.

Seriously, it would be like a lion getting humped by a meerkat!

I was just highlighting the improbability of spindriers prophecy!

No bad feelings to the chap at the dawn of a career; just thought he should have a blunt and honest appraisal of reality in order that he could make a balanced decision.

Give it 18 months and an axe to the defence budget and we will see...
