Hi, this is an answer from an AAC officer:
The AAC is one of the few roles in the Army where you get to do the job you trained for on a daily basis. For example, our pilots have to remain in current flying practice, so our aircraft are constantly flying and are supported by all officers and soldiers in associated jobs. The AAC also offers very junior soldiers the opportunity to command at a very early stage in their careers. Senior Airtroopers (our name for Private soldiers) and Lance Corporals can command Apache Attack Helicopter refuelling and re-arming teams and Helicopter Landing Sights as well as commanding communications detachments which may be operating forward of the main base area. We are also a relatively small Corps so we are a very tight-knit community and everyone tends to know each other regardless of where you are stationed.
