I'm thinking about joining the R.A.F when i turn 18-19 as my passion is flying and i was just wondering if anybody here is a pilot or is planning to be one and could tell me a bit about what life is like as a pilot.

I used to want to be a navy pilot, but because of health stuff never could.

Im a military pilot. I jump into the blackhawk or apache and fuck shit up. my gunner man bangs people with his machine gun while i fire rockets into them tanks and buildings. Sometimes I get trace'd by snipers on roofs. Specially maps with alot of buildings. I usually roll as an engineer and fix my choppa' when it gets banged out.
my main targets are other helicopters and anti-air guns. from there i am unstoppable.

this is why i play badcompany2 smile.gif

In RL, I was in that branch of service and if you like to fly that is the way to go. The bad news is if you qualify and you fly there are always those following you who may someday take your place. So if you fail to qualify to fly you may end up with a desk job or your out--Reduction In Force RIF. Now, the smart thing to do is make sure you can qualify, train, fly for a while and get out and get a civilian job flying for more money. At least in the US, it is predicted that there will be a shortage of qualified pilots due to the fact that the hours required to qualify are high and lessons are expensive. So getting the time is costly but the military is a way to get those hours. Anyway GL either way.
