Good morning,
Thanks so much for getting in touch with your question.
I did actually consider this as a role at one point when I was still researching what to do in the Military. At the time I was applying, the Military were just pulling out of Afghanistan and so I wasn't quite sure what the job would entail in a peacetime capacity.
In the end I decided to go to Aptitude Testing anyway to keep my options open. When I passed I decided to just keep going and see how far along the process I got before making any decision. Ultimately, once I'd passed Grading I threw all my eggs on one basket and decided to go down the Pilot route.
I hope that answers your question. Let me know if I can be of any further help.
Have a nice weekend,
Maddie
