I"ve got my assessment day for RAAF tomorrow, has anyone got any advice? the job description on the website is not really helpfully, and what does the 'combat role' in my pre assesment day interview on the phone, she asked me that and i was like ah.... is that.. nah i dont know. cheers

Well done, If u get an assessment day for raaf, let us know good luck

Congrats, i'm still waiting for my assessment day, had my YOU back in july, still havent got a word about it, rang them up yesterday, they gave me the usual responce "your on the priority list for an assessment day" its what i've been hearing from them for ages, i have a feeling that they RAAF...

Personally, i should have done a gap year (to get centrelink :)), altho i dont regrett going to uni straight away, if u can get into uni and hold a place, then think about deferring if u realy want to, but it depends on what ur mates r doing, if they're doing the same course as you and same...

Cheers, if i get one. Yeh i have a feeling that they must be rushing ppl thru the army GY, dont know why, and leaving navy and even more so raaf till later, BUut i applied same time as you did, have u had your online testing? dont know why you aren't at the same stage as me, probablly coz only...

I'm going for RAAF, had my you session in late july, handed in the forms 2 weeks later, still waiting for an assessment day, where r u at? have u had ur you or assessment day?

Nah mate, still waiting on an assessment day, but congratulations, shame u miss out on aus day as well, but i'm sure the army will put on a good show

yeh i've rang them twice, every 2 weeks, just keep saying, u'll get one next week, ahhh, i think the perth ppl aren't as fast

when do they have to do all the assessment days by? its been about 2 months since my YOU session, and they r still putting my application thru, is it normally that long?

even if u do a barts and become a pilot ui still become a pilot out of it, so when u leave your job isn't going to be based on ur degree, your more likely to become a pilot than journalism (if u do arts), be careful tho, coz arts is alot of essay writing and critical thinking, if u struggle...

sounds intense, but exciting, cant wait to do it, guess they cant judge u soley on 1 coordination thing. anyway thanks for ur help, good luck in ur final exams

Ah you must still be at school, i wanted to study Aeronautical, but they dont offer it here in WA, so i decided to do civil, but if u can do aeronautical it looks good, but for some reason they gave us a list of all the job numbers of graduate engineers and aeronautical was the lowest, so dont...

Yeh, definately, i didn't want to head straight into the RAAF out of school (i took alot of advice from pilots and others) and personally decided to do a degree as something to fall back on and i wasn't ready to commit for 10 yrs at 16 yrs of age, but theres always that chance that i will fail...

Thats true, but if u think about it, in the short term after your uni (if u dont go thru ADFA) your going to have a big HECS debt, for me its about just under 8000 a year, so your going to use that extra money to pay off ur hecs for the first few years, so not having a degree has its...

when i did my YOU day the recruiter said places were really competitive, apparantely due to the white paper they had to cut back the positions (originally they said they'd increase by a certain amount, but they only ended up increasing by much less), but if u show them that u r thinking of...
