Well, it was 32 years ago for me. I knew from the day I could walk that I'd be an RAF pilot. I mean, I'd read the Biggles books and everything.
At the initial aircrew interview, the guy said he couldn't allow my application to go forward because my 'knowledge of current affairs was appalling' and I should re-apply for an NCO position.
Being an arrogant little tyke, I said to my parents, 'well if they don't want me as an officer, they're not getting me at all.'
Which just shows that the guy was absolutely correct not to let my application through!
It's still my one biggest regret in life that I didn't re-apply.
What a pr*ck.
