Thank's, that has actually made me feel a lot better. For a while now I've just been saying to my self "if you want something that bad, if your motivated and willing to get there by any means, the time will come." Thank you again
In the ADF (Australian defence force) We get free medical and dental as you said that includes some elective surgery ie, braces, wisdom teeth, even a few boob jobs have been done. No ADF personnel need to pay for medicare or need health insurance.
No. It depends what you want to do - as an Officer (except pilot/opso) you generally need a university degree, of course there are cases where you can get in with past work experience. As a troop you can enter after high school. As a pilot you don't need a degree, or 3/4 Methods for that matter, but of course it helps - a mate of mine got through without it but had done a Tafe course in Maths. The course he did however was equivelant to having done 3/4 Methods. Hope this helps.
@RGpranin F-111's have been retired. As for why none of the ground attack squadrons with F/A-18's have been deployed, I am not sure. Maybe because it too 'costly' to get them there or something... No idea. We should purchase and aircraft carrier :)
@Lukeclout Yes, most of Australia's casulties consist of SOTG members because they are the ones that are mostly on the front line. However, the 1500 Aussies directly involved in Slipper, and the other 800 providing support are not all Special Forces or even necessarily the best.
Yep. The airforce has a broad spectrum of carers, its not just made of pilots. You can be anything from being a "trolley dolly" (steward) for the PM to a "Yap" (Air Traffic Controller).
It must be so exhilarating flying those things. I own a fast car but to do it all in 3 dimensions in the sky must be breathtaking. What could be a better job that what this fellow has?
@BadManOfArt There are lots of them. And they arent just RAAF, they have ADF centres for Air Force, Army and Navy together. There is one in each capital city as well as other places, depends where you live. Search ADF recruiting.(or call 131901 - that popped into my head, guess the TV and radio ads must be working...)
The only anvantage you will get is showing the selectors how serious you are. Civvie flight isnt much help in the air force because it is so much more precise. My mate just got selected and he said in the final stages of selection there is two weeks of flying to see how quick you learn so if you can already fly you just do more advanced manouvres to see how quick you can learn them. Mind you only 5% of applicants make it that far. Just for the record, the sucess rate for selection in 2009 was 2%
@Gricey95 so true mate, thats the true meaning of you can achieve anything if you put your mind to it, not using the saying as an excuse to not work hard for a goal. I hope you go far mate.
For anyone here wanting to be a future RAAF Pilot read this. I'm currently in year10 and like many of you here am wanting to pursue a career as a RAAF Pilot. I have done a tonne if research and to be selected into the Pilot screen test process you must have passes in these year12 prerequisite subjects. Passes in Tertiary entrance level maths,passes in tertiary entrance level English,Chemistry,Physics and Geography,as well as passes in other elective subjects undertaken in year12. For QLD residents the mean OP score for Pilots in the RAAF is 1-4. However there have been many pilots who have received a lower OP than this and have become successful RAAF pilots.Good luck!
@insaneclown271 yeh - i once flew F-111 Pigs with RAAF. Their hours were pretty crappy. Part of the reason why I am now flying with Qantas in a 747 internationally. Nothing beats flying a jets of course, but commercially you fly alot more under a less strenous (and competitive) environment.
As you are still in school, it is very wise to take general maths (Maths B in QLD), Physics and English in your senior years. Chemistry and Advanced Maths (Maths C in QLD) are preferred, but are not essential for most tech/eng courses at ADFA. Best of luck.
I am a 17year old student doing year 12 now and I want to become a pilot or the ADFA. Is there only one way to become a fighter pilot? which is to move to the OTS all the way in Victoria for 17 weeks?
@RGpranin We have a large amount of army personnel there, lowering national defense enough, and some naval elements, we need to still be prepared at all times.
Not strictly true. I've lived in Australia for 7 years, and looked at joining RAAF reserves, and New Zealanders can join, there is just as age limit. However when I went to the local Army recruiting centre, they said it was pretty much impossible.
I'm 15 and I have an attraction/interest in aviation, especially fighter jets and helicopters. Is it a good job to have? What kind of courses and school subjects are needed/helpful?
Hey guys, just wondering if it would be benificial to get a bachelor of Aviation whilst applying for a Pilot position through ADFA? Could you use the degree after you finish your IMPS to say become a commercial pilot or would you have to gain experience through flying a fighter jet? Regarding an ACO what are their future civilian job opportunities?
Are you serious,im a kiwi waiting for citizenship so I can join the RAAF,what was so hard about obtaining it? My south african mate got his no problem.
If only I could take after my great great uncle Adrian Cole, who was a flying 'ace' within the two world wars and was one of the founding fathers for the RAAF. And too, helped establish Qantas Airlines. ANZAC DAY.
Mate, I was in the exact same boat as you except I gave up and never chased it! I settled with a mere aerobatic and taildragger endorsed PPL. The sad thing is, its almost too easy. My instructor had me in patterns and touch and goes on the first flight, In short, I had the capability but not the application.. Please chase your dream! Even I am back here on this video just wishing I changed!
@Lukeclout lol top troops only? not hating here just want to be clear here, a lot of other unheard of RAAF troops get sent to afghan too and other places, unfortunately you probably don't have the clearance for me to tell you any more.
DUDE, im 15 aswell and my dream is to fly the F/A-18 Hornet, ive been having them thoughts aswell all the time what if i DONT make it, and also worrying about the acedemics in it aswell just to get into fighter school, it all worries me but the only thing keeping me going is knowing i will try my best and knowing that i tried my best i can be at peace with myself, goodluck :)
@keru605 One of Our best pilots is X-New Zealand Fighter pilot who came to Australia after the government got rid of the F-4s, another was from Fiji, Surely anyone with Australian Citizenship and the will and intelligence to become a RAAF pilot can do so!
sorry about my previous comments. Im 15 now and I really want to join the RAAF and hopefully fly for them...In the F/A-18 Hornet....that has to be my favourite jet...it just kills me laying in bed thinking "what if I don't make it, what If I can't be a pilot. My dad wanted to be a pilot....but he failed the psychological test.....thats the only one he failed and didnt make it....thats what scares me....as well as all those other tests...I dont know what I would do if i didn't make it
Actually, presuming you are going to apply through ADFA, an OP10 will land you in BtechAero. A course that is actually favoured when it comes to BFTS. Although pilot is currently a priority job, DFR will do anything to make the selection process as hard and demanding on you as possible. Keep your grades high and they will have no reason to grill you on your academic past. Presuming you are medically fit, show aptitude and actively display your devotion to a career in the ADF, you will breeze it.
i want to become a airforce pilot does anybody know if i should learn to fly first cause i am still in school and have done 8 hours flying. Will it help me get into the air force or is it best to leave it and learn from them
@ceskazbrojovka17HMR Mate not taking anything away from them just saying that 200 hours a week is nothing for a pilot. In the US the ANG part timers do more then that on top of their day jobs.
hey man i want to join the raaf as well =D. ok well im 15 at the moment, and my grades are all good like you. from what i have heard you dont need to be extrememly fit but i guess you should be aiming to be able to do at least 10 chin ups, 20 push ups, 20 sit ups and be able to run about 2km. i suggest you go to a gym or you can just play a sport (like soccer) or else you could just do something simple like running around the block. but remember to increase the distance if it becomes too easy.
@nchb1985 When you're describing the land, we're actually bigger than USA excluding Alaska. Europe easily fits in Australia and so does South East Asia. When you're talking about the amount of people, we're outnumbered.
@ceskazbrojovka17HMR I'm in civvy charter and I have mates who are in and have done 2FS course and are operational and they complain about the lack of logged flying time. Weekends, holidays etc mean f all as civvy and for the most part RAAF flying is all rostered. Charter/airlines your looking at anywhere from 500-800 hours a year sometimes more. Main reason is if the plane isn't moving it isn't making money - something the RAAF dont worry about.
@ceskazbrojovka17HMR I don't think there are too many Wingco and Groupies flying anything more then a desk. I am saying to you as someone in the industry, 200 hours a year is not much flying at all. That's it mate not going to keep discussing this.
Consider it like a normal job. You do your hours during the day, complete your duties and you're off home. Then you can do whatever you normally would after work. Go out to a club on the weekends, see friends. Obviously, during training, it would be better to devote your free time to your studies. Word of caution: There are policies relating to substance abuse, including alcohol. It isn't banned but recommended to be used in moderation. That means a beer or two - don't get tanked.
Our airforce is simply not big enough. The pollies have decided the states are doin the air-ops. The F/A-18 and the F-111's main roles are to protect australia'a own airspace.
Just awesome. I would have loved to have joined the RAAF but being a kiwi I cant, even though I have lived here for 8 years. Citizenship is pretty much impossible for a Kiwi unless they have an employer sponsored or partner Visa first. We have the right to live and work in any other profession, but not the military. Makes no sense at all.
Shouldn't do. For RAF pilots at least you need 5 GCSEs grade A*-C and 2 A levels. GCSEs, incase you don't have them, are just subjects you take for 2 years in school. A levels are in college. You can go to university, but it shouldn't be required. I imagine the RAAF is quite the same.
@RGpranin No offense only top troops gets send to Afgan. Pilots are cool but the most wanted Aussie troops are the SASR for LRRP mission over Afgan. AMerican and British got better aircrafts Typhoons and raptors
@RGpranin No point when our allies are doing it for us. Jet fuel, ordinance and the cost of deploying a fighter like the F 111(which are being slowly replaced by the new super Hornets) or the F/A 18 in Uruzgan province would be a bit useless. It would be like send some of our Abram's to Afghanistan just because we can.
Lol you don't need to have had flying lessons... That's the whole point of Tamworth! As for those who say "All that If you want it bad enough stuff is bs", you're wrong... The ADF recruits not just based on merit, but also those who prove themselves to be dedicated and motivated. Many Pilots do their study through ADFA whilst training to get their wings. The ADF will be an applicant who has shown true commitment, over someone who has high education. In saying that, you do need to have a yr12 min
@ceskazbrojovka17HMR Even if it is week days the average for the air force (check with raaf pilots if you don't believe me) is 200 a year at most. That compared to civy charter/rpt is f all. My old man was a RAAF herc/fast jets in the 70s and 80s, back then they flew even less particually fast jet boys. Not knocking their job but just saying 200 hours a year in the air is nothing when your looking at up to 5 times that.
@beatb0xhunter Not in the industry. Funnily enough a airline or regional charter mob is more likely to take a bloke who has 500 hours shit kicking out west in a cessna 206 then a ex right hand seat RAAF bloke. RAAF guys are great at what they do but they don't know commercial pressure or what it is like to not have any support. Out west you blow a tyre - pilot fixes it!
Just give it a go, you have a pretty decent chance of getting in if you study the right subjects in highschool, maths b, physics, chemistry, biology etc. Work on fitness and develop a passion for aviation. You actually have a 1 in 50 chance of becoming a fighter pilot.
Wot Mate Biology would be useful so you can understand how the human body is affected during flight e.g. g-forces, hypoxia, vertigo, optical illusions, fatigue etc.
hey thats sexist. there can be female pilots in aussie, it just hasnt happened yet, other countries have female pilots, they arent any different to males? they arent any weaker? -.-
I'm a RAAF wife and very proud of my husband, I would like to thank all that are in the Defence and the job they do. Keep up the great work.
Thank's, that has actually made me feel a lot better. For a while now I've just been saying to my self "if you want something that bad, if your motivated and willing to get there by any means, the time will come." Thank you again

Fantastic Advert, and a good job, enjoyed the video.
It must be so exhilarating flying those things. I own a fast car but to do it all in 3 dimensions in the sky must be breathtaking. What could be a better job that what this fellow has?
I was looking for 'the smog brothers' 'Warplane' video, and came across this instead, glad I did!
So you fly hornets and hercs? on the same tour? That must be great to have the best of both worlds. which sqns do you work at?
I was Born in NZ and moved to Aussie when I was 12. Got my Citizenship no problem same with my brother, dad and mum. Moved over here in late 2000.
@BadManOfArt There are lots of them. And they arent just RAAF, they have ADF centres for Air Force, Army and Navy together.

Could you give a quick insight for additional testing? A bit worried as I don't want to wait 12 months if I don't pass/
Xavier Mcgrane what is the maximum age to enter program?
Currently its 27.5 years for Air Force pilots. However, that can be overlooked for older candidates if they show great potential.
@insaneclown271 yeh - i once flew F-111 Pigs with RAAF. Their hours were pretty crappy. Part of the reason why I am now flying with Qantas in a 747 internationally. Nothing beats flying a jets of course, but commercially you fly alot more under a less strenous (and competitive) environment.

Chemistry and Advanced Maths (Maths C in QLD) are preferred, but are not essential for most tech/eng courses at ADFA.
Best of luck.
The thing that made me choose civil aviation over the RAAF is that Air Force guys fly fuck all hours a year compared to a commercial pilot.
Thorles, I'll see you at Richmond next week?
Never back down on your dreams. Talk to a recruiter and ask questions.
@insaneclown271 hmm I can see the reasoning behind it tho - how much does it cost to put a hornet in the sky for 2 hours?
I am a 17year old student doing year 12 now and I want to become a pilot or the ADFA.
Is there only one way to become a fighter pilot? which is to move to the OTS all the way in Victoria for 17 weeks?

If you click on the link for your user name it takes you to a page that says your age is 14... what type of herc do you fly.
Yeh it does... being based at willy must make it hard to fly hercs when they are all based in richmond?
@RGpranin The RAAF Hornets were actually involved in the initial invasion.
hey by the way can u give me some info on what u need to do to join and what its like. im 15 and im wanting to join when i finish school. cheers
Hey guys,

Are you serious,im a kiwi waiting for citizenship so I can join the RAAF,what was so hard about obtaining it? My south african mate got his no problem.
man i wanna become an raaf pilot so badd!! do you need to be able to swim to join raaf?
@squirttle92 Look at our casualties, which ones are normal soldiers? Almost all 33 KIA members are from the 2nd commandos and SASR
If only I could take after my great great uncle Adrian Cole, who was a flying 'ace' within the two world wars and was one of the founding fathers for the RAAF. And too, helped establish Qantas Airlines.
ANZAC DAY.

@RGpranin More than likely an unnecessary expense, air superiority doesn't seem to be an issue from what I understand.
i want to become a airforce pilot does anybody know if i should learn to fly first cause i am still in school and have done 8 hours flying. Will it help me get into the air force or is it best to leave it and learn from them
Hello everyone
what are the educational requirements to enter in to RAAF? For maths and Physics in WA?
@keru605 yes they can join the ADF in any capacity!
@ceskazbrojovka17HMR Mate not taking anything away from them just saying that 200 hours a week is nothing for a pilot. In the US the ANG part timers do more then that on top of their day jobs.
ive been in airforce Cadets for Four Years and ill keep on going until im able to join the airforce
hey man i want to join the raaf as well =D. ok well im 15 at the moment, and my grades are all good like you. from what i have heard you dont need to be extrememly fit but i guess you should be aiming to be able to do at least 10 chin ups, 20 push ups, 20 sit ups and be able to run about 2km. i suggest you go to a gym or you can just play a sport (like soccer) or else you could just do something simple like running around the block. but remember to increase the distance if it becomes too easy.
wat are the physical requirements
good luck in getting the offer
Just go to the official website, plenty of info there. I cant link URLs here but google will find it for you.
The Airforce will see that knowing some flying is a positive, but if you cant pass the psychological then the question is if you can get in.
@nchb1985
When you're describing the land, we're actually bigger than USA excluding Alaska. Europe easily fits in Australia and so does South East Asia.

Thorley, if you are 14 how can you be a herc pilot!?

i might either go into the Army. if not ill probably go to SJA or WAPOL (Ambulance or West Aus Police)
PS sorry about grammar, im not really that bad, :), last sentence: "I don't know WHAT I WILL DO if i don't make it.
are you just isolated on a base with no girls around? what if you want to hit the clubs on the weekend?
Consider it like a normal job. You do your hours during the day, complete your duties and you're off home. Then you can do whatever you normally would after work. Go out to a club on the weekends, see friends. Obviously, during training, it would be better to devote your free time to your studies.

Thorley - you seriously a Herc Pilot man?
Hahaha, relax man, i'm just playing. What SQN you with?
Our airforce is simply not big enough. The pollies have decided the states are doin the air-ops. The F/A-18 and the F-111's main roles are to protect australia'a own airspace.
"What made you want to fly"......WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT HAHA. IT EXPLAINS ITSELF!
@RGpranin Because the US is taking care of that, we don't need to risk our AF :)
Just awesome. I would have loved to have joined the RAAF but being a kiwi I cant, even though I have lived here for 8 years. Citizenship is pretty much impossible for a Kiwi unless they have an employer sponsored or partner Visa first. We have the right to live and work in any other profession, but not the military.

Shouldn't do. For RAF pilots at least you need 5 GCSEs grade A*-C and 2 A levels. GCSEs, incase you don't have them, are just subjects you take for 2 years in school. A levels are in college. You can go to university, but it shouldn't be required. I imagine the RAAF is quite the same.
@beatb0xhunter Yeah I guess your experiencing something that very few get to do and that itself would be unreal.
@RGpranin No offense only top troops gets send to Afgan. Pilots are cool but the most wanted Aussie troops are the SASR for LRRP mission over Afgan. AMerican and British got better aircrafts Typhoons and raptors
i want to join airforce but im 16.
and i can't afford flying lessons like he did... :(
Can a new zealander become a raaf pilot?
@keru605 you will have to get Australian citizenship first
@RGpranin None needed, although there were 14 in Iraq.
To all who live in Australia and want the private pilots licence- join the AAFC (Aus Air Force cadets)
@RGpranin No point when our allies are doing it for us. Jet fuel, ordinance and the cost of deploying a fighter like the F 111(which are being slowly replaced by the new super Hornets) or the F/A 18 in Uruzgan province would be a bit useless. It would be like send some of our Abram's to Afghanistan just because we can.
@RGpranin It's all for defensive purposes
Lol you don't need to have had flying lessons... That's the whole point of Tamworth!
As for those who say "All that If you want it bad enough stuff is bs", you're wrong...
The ADF recruits not just based on merit, but also those who prove themselves to be dedicated and motivated. Many Pilots do their study through ADFA whilst training to get their wings. The ADF will be an applicant who has shown true commitment, over someone who has high education. In saying that, you do need to have a yr12 min
you spelt herc wrong
@ceskazbrojovka17HMR Even if it is week days the average for the air force (check with raaf pilots if you don't believe me) is 200 a year at most. That compared to civy charter/rpt is f all. My old man was a RAAF herc/fast jets in the 70s and 80s, back then they flew even less particually fast jet boys. Not knocking their job but just saying 200 hours a year in the air is nothing when your looking at up to 5 times that.
@gnarkillkicksass its cause they have nothin else to do rather than sit down and do paperwork
Eh what do you mean are you too short or something?
Plus the pay is better too!
yeh but what type? Hmmm thorley 93... if your birthday is any day after today this year, that would make you 14, no?
if you want it bad enough.....just need self belief and the want.....
yeah =D
@kozadongre okay thanks for your info :)
that aint workin, thats the way you do it, money for nothin
same here mate. but im female and 14 :P
Yeh but what type of herc? Thorley 93... hmm if your birthday is any day after today, then that makes you 14, no?
@beatb0xhunter Not in the industry. Funnily enough a airline or regional charter mob is more likely to take a bloke who has 500 hours shit kicking out west in a cessna 206 then a ex right hand seat RAAF bloke. RAAF guys are great at what they do but they don't know commercial pressure or what it is like to not have any support. Out west you blow a tyre - pilot fixes it!
I am 13 I have a big dream of being in the airforce. The first time I seen a fa
same here dude
v
Just give it a go, you have a pretty decent chance of getting in if you study the right subjects in highschool, maths b, physics, chemistry, biology etc. Work on fitness and develop a passion for aviation. You actually have a 1 in 50 chance of becoming a fighter pilot.
skilled_methodz why would biology be useful?
Wot Mate Biology would be useful so you can understand how the human body is affected during flight e.g. g-forces, hypoxia, vertigo, optical illusions, fatigue etc.
@Lukeclout "Only the top troops get sent to Afghanistan". BS!
Anything from OP 1- OP 8
@jjsnaks44 do you
hey thats sexist. there can be female pilots in aussie, it just hasnt happened yet, other countries have female pilots, they arent any different to males? they arent any weaker? -.-
@ceskazbrojovka17HMR Thanks :)
still doesnt mean there cant be female pilots/cops!
@Lukeclout im not going to go nuts at you so ill just say *do you have any clue what you are talking about?
not true mate.....
bet you don't
