^^ You do the PFA(beep test, push ups etc.) on a different day to your assessment day.

RAAF are full of homos.

No. One year is no walk in the park. You still have to be committed for that year

Hehe. I'd imagine it to be like the footy team, everyone's always trying to rat on someone. Sounds fun. Lucky I'm going fulltime.
