Just a small update:
I will be departing to Pretoria for my Psychomotor and Medical examination on the 3'rd of February... 2 Hour flight in a Kulula, woohooooo!
This is what I have found out so far: (Regarding the May intake)
Since July last year only 19 people made it through to the interviews. From that 19 it only seems that 11 of them will be considered for the May intake.
The group of more or less 500 Matriculants that I was part of only had 45 candidates that passed. From that 45 Candidates, 5 of them failed Matric, 10 of them did not send in their Matric results and 3 of them aren't interested anymore. That then adds up to only 27 candidates that will be doing the Psychomotor and Medical examination in the upcoming week. (I am one of them)
There will be another group of more or less 500 candidates in the upcoming time before the May intake which will also be competing for a slot.
This might seem as a lot of candidates that has to be considered. Well, it actually is. But thats not too worrying though! The latest that I have heard is that we will be 52 Pilots that will be starting their Basic Military Training in May. That means that there is 41 slots open for the following 2 groups. (The group of 27 that I am in and the next group.)
BUT, my source also mentioned that they could consider taking in less people than 52. Then again, I also don't know how accurate and spot on my source is... The figures seem good though!
I am very confident for the upcoming week and I thoroughly believe that I will ACE the Vienna Test and Medicals. Once I am through this week its just the interview remaining! I'm getting excited just thinking about it. Soon, my dream will become a reality... Head high, mind clear, lets do this!!!
On another note... Heres another video that I edited! It's not footage that I have shot though - just hoping this video might go viral so that my other GoPro videos would start getting more views, since I am now an official GoPro affiliate! Yay! Ohhh yeah, and if someone follows THIS link to the GoPro website and buy a GoPro product, I get some commision for it. So go ahead and buy a GoPro!
...Enjoy!
...Jaco, over and out...
