Hiya, just another general question. At the aptitude test etc. Do you have to take the medical there and then, or is it after my aptitude test i.e. at another date?

Just wondering as I'm a bit confused about what is going on.

Cheers.

Really nervous, just trying to calm myself so I don't make a complete tit out of myself, as I believe there is an interview on the same date?

I'm going for Mechanical Engineer, although I had to apply for 2 trades (must be a fair few people wanting to join) so I also applied for Weapons Engineer.

Multiple choice questions on the test afiak too..

Not sure what to wear either.. smart/casual or smart smart.. help

There was no specific trade when I had the jobs A-Z through, so I chose mechanical engineer and I take it they ask you exactly what one when/if you get that far. If I do then I will choose Engines or Airframe.

cool
if you want an easier life try electrics or avionics,then in my experience engines have the next esiest life,always seems to be more airframe work than anyone else!

Not a fan of electrics really. Interested in the power of the things really. As I'll find it a hell of a lot easier working on something I enjoy.


Really grateful for all the help people
