The curent age limit for entry into RAF as NCA has recently been increased to age 37. Call the NCA Liasion Team at Cranwell, they will give you all the details you need.

Are we talking about the same thing here?

NCA - Pilot = 31 (poss soon to be 26)

or

McDonalds burger operative - NCA = 36

or

McDonalds burger operative - Pilot = 24 (poss soon to be 26)

Tell me more..

Currently looking at WSOp due to Alevels and 26 would give me more than enough time to sort it out. Would kill me to know I start training as WSOp only for the age limit on Pilot to be raised :ugh:

age limit on Pilot
Age limit on entry to BRNC for the Dark Blue for aircrew officers is 25 and 11 months.

Appreciate the Info A_A, but was already onboard. The Navy just isn't my cup of tea I'm afraid!

I refer the hon gentleman to my post of 09:55 yesterday 13 Nov.

In fact i'll go further. My little scrote (the left one) says it'll happen somewhere around, ooh, Apr09?

Dfly's posts (#13 in particular) surely indicate that he lacks the academic qualifications necessary to reach commissioned rank in any service, having a sad lack of English grammar and spelling. Even achieving the rate of Chief Petty Officer in the Royal Navy demands that the candidate gains the level of the old G.C.E. in English.

kkbuk,

I came to this forum for help so i would be grateful if you kept unhelpful comments like that to yourself.
To achieve the rank of CPO in the RN you are not required G.C.E English, your are required it for WO only or a 0:0 in the RN's NAMET test.

Regards.

DFLY,

Get your reasons for the change sorted out.

Go to an AFCO and get the current info - there may be visits you will be able do. They will also check that you are qualified to progress with an application.

If qualified apply.

If not qualified plan what you must do to get qualified.

Just because a small Station with a mixed manning makes it look good from one persperctive does not mean that it will turn out well.

Good luck with whatever you eventually end up doing.
