What made you change career paths from nursing to being a wildcat pilot in the army?

Madeline J.

Wildcat Pilot

Hi there,

Thanks so much for your question. I think there were a combination of different reasons but the main one was that I wasn't particularly enjoying my Nursing course as much as I'd hoped. I was in the Reserves alongside university and really enjoyed my time there so joining the regular Army seemed like a natural progression. When I figured out that I didn't want to be a nurse, I looked into other jobs that I could do in the Army and decided to give the Army Air Corps a try.

I hope that answers your question.

Have a nice day,
Maddie
