I wouldn't be anything other than a fighter pilot, which I'm too old for now.
Fuck getting shot at in some hot third world country for no real reason.

Your work legally have to let you have time off to do this dont they?
I work in service management
I'm not sure they legally have to do anything regarding time off for training etc
e.g. for the 2 week annual camp my work will give me a week paid for it but for the other I have to use holiday
If you were to get deployed though then legally your work have to keep your job for you

Thought I'd get more arsey answers to be frank, thanks for the responses has given me stuff to think about. Gonna go over everything tomorrow at the careers office and find out what's best for me. Originally started app as infantry last year, don't know if I'd want that now. I'd want a trade but with some combat.. suppose you have to be ready in any role really.

shit like that doesnt happen. But if you leave your keys in ypur locker, your keys and stuff go out the window. Teaches you to look after things.

My friend couldn't get into the RAF, which is why he became an Officer. But then at least he didn't become a normal soldier (death wish).

I applaud anyone that walks into an AFCO and considers a career in the services.
Good luck.
