relearn... I didn't know how to in the first place - I learnt it specifically for the test!

Uh-oh, please tell me you're kidding me lol.... i absolutely hate long division...

Amazing..... I bet you didn't learn your times table either......

Don't worry, not blowing my own trumpet, but i was pretty cleaver at maths all through school, but never bothered with times table, or long division.
So long as I could approximate, I could believe what the calculator said.... That is the guts of it.

They are really looking for people with minds that suit the job they are applying for.... So you will really fit right in if you have done some motorsport engineering.

Yeah, im pretty handy at maths myself, just not that into long division and such... more suited to logic problems and algebra really And yep, hopefully this'll mean i dont have to sell my racecar

That was for aircrew... can't remember what the ground trade aptitude tests had in terms of mathematics questions

Been 19 1/2 years for me... can't remember what exactly they tested me for.
All I know was it wasn't too bad.......

Still trying to find out about the new Basic Engineering thing..... But from an e-mail I got today regarding scrounging parts, and if i read between the lines, it may well be that you do that bit first... before getting to learn how to march in squares.....

Rest assured, the instructors in AERO Eng are good buggers.

Yep, the recruitment officer set me straight. You do that bit before the recruit course, and before you do it you are given an offer of service conditional on passing the course and maintaining required levels of health/fitness. So you're in before you do it, which is what i was hoping

Sweet..... Oh, and you don't have to sell the race car... you will just be a little under funded for a little bit. Then you will have plenty of time to work on it, and race it.
The two bases in the north island have very active motorsports clubs. Especially around motorcycling, but there is a very large "Tarmac" content at Ohakea as well...

Sounds good, and yeah ii'd be less under-funded then trying to fix a racecar on a student budget! Might have to get a racebike too . Ohakea is perfectly located for a quick trip to Manfeild!! I just hope i can end up there...

Well, 9 minutes to Manfeild is better than an hour to Puke!

Ohakea isn't exactly in the middle of nowhere, it is more like within 2 hours of everywhere.... Hampton Downs is a bit of a trek, but that's okay.
I get inspired by people who frequently travel down from Tauranga to race at Manfeild...

There is a good chance of working at Ohakea.

Thats awesome then! Cos everyone i know lives in the lower north island... I'd hate to have to spend half my pay on plane and ferry tickets!

Just been photo-copying all the documents they want, certificates, school reports etc.... don't ask for much do they?

Ummm,
You are joining the Airforce right??
There isn't much of a chance of getting a job 'Base Side" in Woodbourne these days... and as for Plane tickets, well we actually have a free air service that operates between the bases. Yes, it does still work... for the most part.

As fore all the copies... well, it is just to check. People make stuff up these days, so you have to check.
You'll get used to boxes being ticked all the time.

Haha, okay... see these are the thiings us civvies don't know

Free air service sounds awesome! Much bettter than driving down from Auckland or whatever lol. Sounds like I'm sorted then.
And yeah, its just a hassle with how much I have to copy, unfortunately i have a few certificates... lol, but i dont mind, its cool that their proving to be worth something for once!

I know when I was organising courses for our boys in Woodbourne we went civilian so they would actually get there......

DUDE! Have you been to town in Palmy? It's student central, during semester it's usually crawling with good looking, intelligent and somewhat drunk women!
