koolkool is right...
a pilot nv get to do an actual jump unless in real
emergencies.
but wif regards to the jump experience, it's negligible.
wif or without jump experience, be assured that rsaf trains u up
for this.
erm... the airborne badge thing. r u refering to the parachuting
from the plane or the wing badge?
if is parachuting, pilots dun do parachutings.
perhaps u r refering to the wings ba...
to TS, it all boils down to ur interest.
however, if ur interest in commandos is tantamount to being a pilot
wif the rsaf, i would recommend u to go for pilot.
why? cos there r many stringent tests for u b4 u can even be
accepted as a pilot trainee n many pple fail these tests so they
dun even make it to air force school.
go try for it!
commandos, on the other hand, doesnt have such a high failing rate
as pilot.
but the training is physically demanding n mentally
exhausting.
let's take a look at ur path, assuming u got accepted as a pilot
trainee after finishing commandos bmt.
it will be quite unlikely u will be posted back to commandos if u
failed ur airgrading or bwc as commandos r mono-intakes.
if u r considering pilot, tink long term.
it will be ur life career, not a 2yr stint.
tink carefully, those glamourous posters wif those pilots in F-16 r
juz a facade of wat pilot does. there r a lot more to come, u dun
juz fly the plane happily in the sky.
lots of pple want to be a pilot b4 enlisting, once they got in n
training starts, everybody wants out.
how ironic...
