He will now start his science degree to eventually become a joint battlefield air space controller (or possibly pilot if he gets an offer - still hope)

Firstly, well done to your son and his career choice. (In red) I would have thought they would have decided an end career (Pilot or Battlefield Air Space Controller) upon enlistment.
Battlefield Air Space Controller...jeez even though I am still involved Defence has changed significantly since I was in uniform. This is a new exciting field involving the old with the new. There has been Air Controllers in service for years but now they have so much technology at their disposal.
