Life in an Aviation role
Aviation requires complex machinery, attention to detail, hard work and a great team spirit. What you do (or don't do) directly affects the lives of others. It's this sense of responsibility and duty that will drive you to become the best.
Push yourself higher
You’ll be amazed at what an Aviation role will demand of you – and also the level of professionalism you're capable of.

This can include short notice postings around the country and overseas. You will be directed at times to be continuously alert, undertake arduous and hazardous duties, and be exposed to adverse working environments exclusive to military life.
