i think i know how u feel.. been in your shoes before.
Applied for pilot, went for med/compass test all before.
Same with you, i've been in the syfc before. got my wings
though..
Went for the interview after almost a year of waiting, several
delays and an appeal.
but during the interview, instead of questioning me on aircrafts
and whatnot, they ask me why i nv go OCS, can a spec be a pilot (i
was halfway in spec training), what leadership qualities i have,
how i screwed up in my yfc days.. etc. I was like wtf, why all
these questions which aren't related? They asked others the
difference between an F16C and D, how easy was that?
Seriously, at that time i did not see why all that mattered. To
me a pilot was someone with talent, but sadly that was not what
they were looking for. "Leadership" is the key, flying is secondary
and 'can be trained'.
I have alot to say about how RSAF or the SAF does things, but
i'm gonna keep it short. Was damn depressed n disappointed in the
system when i got rejected, as that was the only job i was
interested in doing at that time.
Now after almost 2yrs of NS, i'm hell glad i was rejected.
not to be sourgrapes though. i do enjoy flying, but i guess
not with an organisation like that.
Well said.
The thing is Sometimes when you want something, you become
nervous and screwed up. While others who are indifferent to the job
can actually perform better in the interview.
Another case is with gfs. Some gals may be your dream gf. But
their bf dont seem to care much about the girl.
