I've just seen about this, but with an upper age limit of 40 (at time of entry to training) I've missed my chance. Bugger.

That's unfortunate. There's a cpl in my office who turns 41 a week after the BES start date and he has been told he can apply.

Just this week got the nod from the boarding officer at Cranwell that I'm considered qualified to apply, but the AFCO's shut until the 3rd of Jan! Hopefully will still meet the deadline...

I wouldn't be concerned if i was you. Although I've had my P2 brief, I'm still waiting on Cranwell to approve my medical docs and give the go ahead for me to have the P2 filter interview. Which AFCO are you going through?

Will be going through Lincoln. Was the P2 brief helpful?

Also as you don't do your commission first then the RAF aren't stuck with some commissioned retard failure ..................

Are you sure about that? You haven't met the commissioned here.

Is this really a good scheme or are we better off getting a BEng off our own backs and then leave the raf for a civvy graduate job?

Even if the civvy pay isn't much better, at least we'd have a better lifestyle with less bs?

Oberon, it is always worth testing the system on things like this. Have a chat with your TDO or CCLO and get them to call Cranwell to see how hard and fast the rules are.

The guys at Lincoln are really helpful. The P2 pres has just been updated so I can't comment; I did mine a week before it came out.

There are rumours of people completing the BES but purposefully failing IOT. As I say, these are only rumours...

Picking up my paperwork from PSF in the morning, then on to the P2 brief!

What could possibly go wrong......
