Am I happy? NOT BLOODY HALF!

Now where's the champagne :D
Can I get a name change please? 'OCdt Stringy' (Officer Cadet). Ta :D

I can't stop having giggle fits :) I've been working towards this since late August last year, and after numerous interviews, fitness tests, medicals, team exercises, aptitude test, and countless other things, I've finally gotten it. Such a exciting/scary moment all at the same time!

Heh, if I did I'd be a guy staring at a computer screen telling them what to do, my eyesight isn't good enough to fly supposedly.

My colourblindness stopped me being a pilot. Sacked the whole thing off, didn't want to be in the Air Force if I couldn't fly!!
 
My Dad was a fighter controller in the RAF, he got to Wing Commander before retiring and in the Gulf War he was air-defence commander! Look where this could take you! Plus as my Dad says, you get one of the best pensions in the country.

Good luck buddy! :)
