Wow i wana be in the airforce when he said nuetrolised i was scared btw im 12

[conor1977]

but the japaneese bombers attacked darwin up opposed. so i suppose the RAAF are not so great.

[ThebanPhalanx]

Does the ADF and branches of it only accept white people?

Im pretty sure that there would be racism against Asians and dark skinned people.

For example, maybe high ranking officers or pilots.

[Slasherzza]

@ThebanPhalanx Where on Earth did you get that idea? Watch 'Real Top Guns', mate, one of the main focalisers of the doco is an Indian bloke, from memory whose name is something like 'Kartik Maharaj'. The bloke even has a full on Indian wedding and he's an F/A-18 pilot. I remember seeing once in the Air Force newsletter I believe that an award winner after Advanced Flight Training (2FTS) was an Asian Sub-Lieutenant from the Navy. Also seen an Asian Pig Nav before in vids. They've progressed. :)

[Bdawg981]

@ThebanPhalanx no, its just that some people from foreign lands come new to australia and are not citizens yet, but yea race doesnt matter

[trannik]

I went for an Army interview last year and the old guy who interviewed me treated me like absolute dog shit, wouldn't accept my as a rifleman (second preference) because I never went out camping, didn't go hunting, didn't play any sports, and denied me the job I expected this attitude once I would IN the army but not at my Interview, so I'm going to study up and give it my last shot and and try for the air force since a lot of my friends think it's so much of a better career in there.

[Slasherzza]

@trannik To be fair mate, what else do you think Riflemen do? Would you accept someone to an IT Firm if they'd never used a computer?

[ryanbro69]

@trannik fuck unlucky man

[j0noStrIk3r]

lol they bombed a north korean drug vessel, hahahahahahaha

[nicealot]

@j0noStrIk3r send a hornet to do a pigs job....!!

[SuperFamousstars]

does air combat officer mean u fly jets and stuff?

[AirForceHQ]

@SuperFamousstars Air Combat Officers (ACO's) fly in aircraft but look after the airborne electronic systems. Some ACO's work from the ground as well. Search DefenceJobs for Air Combat Officer if you want more information.

[Ojskate]

I am only 13 years old, I am going to join the airforce when I am 16 and become an aco or a pilot :)

[ForTheLolzzzz]

@Ojskate Good luck, I'm 13 to and I wanna become an F/A-18 Super Hornet Pilot for them to. But just one thing, you can't join at 16, Youngest you can start at is 17, Once you have finshed school.

[Ojskate]

@ForTheLolzzzz haha yes that is true :) good luck to you to! oh and i was wondering are u going to to ADFA aswell or a direct entry?

[ForTheLolzzzz]

@Ojskate Direct Entry. You?

[Ojskate]

@ForTheLolzzzz ADFA lol

[IIproductionsII]

@ForTheLolzzzz The F/A-18F's will probably be gone by the time you finnish all your training, will probably have the F-35's by then. First you've got all the selection process, then OTS or ADFA, then you've got all the other courses, survival etc. Then you've got the flying courses, and you have to spend a certain ammount of time on the PC-9 and then the Hawk 127, before you can be selected to fly the F/A-18A, then after that it's the F/A-18/F.

[30071996k]

is this a training exercise, real exercise or was it just a similuated video?

[joelizm321]

What a top video.

[CohenAviran]

wow .

[sufa256]

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tsneal101]

Why does the F-18 have the US flag on the top right of it's tail wing thingy? not Aussie flag ;/?

[AirForceHQ]

@tsneal101 I think you are seeing an optical illusion created by the construction of the tail itself. Go to the Air Force Image Gallery and search for 20100319raaf8540677_0018.jpg and you will see the tail in greater detail.

[tsneal101]

@AirForceHQ

Haha yes you are correct! It is the Aussie flag not US, thankyou very much :)

[LauraLouise5]

That was very interesting

[UsqueAdNauseam]

@beepa007 Of course we Australians defeat the enemy by moral force alone

[anbrin]

@UsqueAdNauseam LOL Half of the world could beat are air force if it came down to it.

[Antifaith29]

@anbrin are airforce? what? speak the english please? Oh you meant OUR airforce.

[anbrin]

@Antifaith29 Sorry... but then again ..." speak the English please?" That doesn't really make sense either Mate!

[TheDudeFrom0Z]

ill be flying one of them. one day.

[stpeter93]

this is a great move by defence force recruiting, almost makes me want to switch out of the army..

almost..

[grevious01]

The theme song "Danger Zone" from the movie, Top Gun comes to mind when watching this video.

[Slasherzza]

Outstanding. :D

[beepa007]

@Slasherzza

i agree outstanding.. amazing how the yanks actually have to carry munitions to destroy targets but we dont...amazing how we can WVR with video but the yanks throw an AMRAAM at a distant dot...amazing how a Vark kill is given to a stupidbug....Is this an independant vid or more Boeing sales pitch??

[chrisjeffsmusic]

@beepa007 it's obviously dramatised you hater. Would you like a medal?

No need to spoil the fun for others.

[jamesboy46382]

@beepa007 omg..its dramatised? no...
