Hi there, yet another "I am about to join" thread.
I have just started the application process and I was wondering what my chances of getting in as an AEO are? I have an accredited BEng in Mechanical Engineering (but not an honours; I was at a small uni and there were not enough of us to do an honours year) and I also had to repeat a year due to breaking both of my arms and missing an entire term.
I have a friend who applied to the RAF as an Engineering Officer, he has a 2:1 MEng and is much more of a leader than I am and he was knocked back and told to try again the next year, which makes me think that my chances for getting in as an AEO aren't too good.
Another thing that I was thinking of doing is joining as an AET and once I have finished the training I would do a Masters through the Open Uni, and apply to be an Officer after that.
I have also played team sports my entire life and I have also been an elected representative for class and teammates on several occasions, I also interview quite well, I also have an Uncle who is a Microbioligist in Stonemouth/Gibraltar/Basra (I am not sure where he is stationed at the mo).
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I did have a look at some of the other threads for AET/AEO but they didn't quite answer my questions.
Have a happy new year.
