Hi Everyone,
I've just been browsing the careers website thinking about what I might like to do if I don't get make the grade to be an officer and was wondering if it's possible to apply for officer/SNCO and airwoman roles at the same time?
Sounds like a daft question I know, and I'm sure someone will accuse me of being defeatist but I'd rather have a fall-back plan just in case. If I don't make it in as an officer I was thinking about applying as a student nurse (I do a lot of voluntary medical work so it wouldn't be a total change of tack for me).
Obviously I don't want the careers bods to look at my appication and think "Hmm, Flight Ops/Logistics/Pers Supt officer...and student nurse?! What's going on here then!" and have that jeopardize my chances because they don't think I'm fully committed to being an officer, but similarly I'm not getting any younger (26 on Friday) and don't want to spend ages going down the officer recruitment process then have to start all over again if I don't make it.
Also, as a bit of an aside, is Air Traffic Control the only trade for which you can apply directly as SNCO? It's the only one I could see on the careers website but please tell me if I've missed something obvious!
