tegwin,

I am surprised that noone has yet told you that, if you go the RN route, it will take you the best part of 5 years before you become a qualified helicopter pilot. Unless things have changed in the last year, you will spend a total of two years of that on hold, waiting for the next slot in the training process. During that time you can be given any job, anywhere.

I have no idea how long the same process takes in the other services but, as they tend to use the same training facilities, it is probably similar.

Pulse 1 - no/very short holds in the RN FAA pilot training system right now. Spoke to the current Flight Training Officer at BRNC two months ago. A combination of lower than planned numbers on the recent intakes, and a slight expansion in capacity has really speeded things up for those just starting.
