I'm in the Army Reserves as a Combat Engineer as of January 2004. And I'm pretty sure I'm about to get a medical discharge because of my back.

Air Force Intelligence is bloody hard to get into - they only take a VERY small number each year, it's almost non existant if you plan on going through ADFA.

Looked at joining a while ago. Still on the backburner, I might join once I finish my nursing degree and work for a while.

 

[RCMasterAA]

I wanted to join in year 12. I applied for the RAAF as an Air Defense Officer.

I applied for the ADFA education award last year, everything was going smooth - then they expected me to spend $300+ for an eye test! I prompted dropped out cos i'm cheap.

 

[velox]

Jago, its supposed to be covered by medicare. Im going on my osb next week.

I hear that the application process to become a pilot is quite gruelling

 

[Jago]

$300?! I only had to fork out $80 for my opthalmology test ($61 claimed back from Medicare).

Isn't medic under General Entry?

It was 150ish per session, i had to go for 2 sessions.

They told me later that most of it was covered by medicare.

How difficult is it to become a pilot in the airforce.

quite difficult.
not only that, your locked in for 11.5 years.


think of it this way.

would you just let anyone play with multi-million, and sometimes billion dollars worth of equipment?

I was looking into applying as a Navy Intelligence Officer. Does anybody know if it is a difficult position to fill? And according to the recruiting website, it's only offered in the reserve.
