What degree were you aiming for? I asked at one of those session things and they said that Engineering is out, and so is that aviation one. The only thing you can study at ADFA while aiming to be a helicopter pilot (this is assuming you're going army), is a Bachelor of Technology in Aeronautics. If you want to fly choppers in the navy then I believe you can study that aviation degree, which is only available to chairforce and navy.
noice 
You failed the aptitude test but are doing engineering? I didn't find the testing too hard at all really. I would have rushed through the process and may be in ADFA now, but the test are valid for 3 years..KuSTaV wrote:

Am I the only one here who has no desire to be in the armed forces?
Armed forces are full of opportunities. You have utilised an opportunity by another means. You don't need it.TimmmmaaaaH wrote:

Wait wat. I slept through 6 months (literally, was asleep for 4/5 lessons a week) of yr 11 physics (was politely asked to leave the class) and had over 200 days absent for year 12 mathematical methods (disagreement with the teacher and his faggotry) and still qualified for futher testing for pilot after my aptitude tests....KuSTaV wrote:

No degree needed.
He didn't say a degree was needed but as there are 4 licenced helicopter pilots in Australia for every helicopter, it'd be a great idea to get one, as if not you're pretty much fucked for employment afterward.
Competition for decent jobs flying choppers is fierce and while defence force experience will help establish the connections and reputation required to score a job with customs or something similar, civvy jobs can be absolutely terrible financially. Up here many tour pilots accept below the minimum wage and are told to put up or shut up. That's just the way it is.
Scoring aeronautical fitting as a trade (goes by a shit ton of names but that one's common afaik) will get you far with choppers. The guys that fix them get paid shitloads more than the pilots.

Yeah there are some army guys at adfa transferring to RAAF since they realised that the prospects for Heli pilots out of the Army aren't great.
Commercial air is by no means a bad job, its just slower paced. Get into a good airline for a few years (especially in some place overseas) and you can be making a pretty healthy salary

You never know what you'll like until you try it.
For some reason I actually really enjoy construction even though I'm not really a physical kinda person.
Still do what you gotta do... I assume you've flown before right? When I did it was kinda trippy. Then again the plane was tiny.

That is all.
