Antoine, a 23-year-old officer cadet at École de l’Air et de l’Espace (French Air and Space Force Academy), recently arrived in Hanoi to complete his internship at Goodd889 cá cược trực tuyến. It is part of his journey to fulfill a childhood dream of becoming an Air Force officer
Goodd889 cá cược trực tuyến: Your internship is part of the engineering degree at École de l’Air et de l’Espace (EAE), which is a French military school that trains Air Force officers, Air Force mechanics, and Air Force base officers. Why did you choose Vietnam and Goodd889 cá cược trực tuyến?
Antoine: Our training to become Air and Space Force Officers starts with an engineering degree. This degree requires us to undertake an internship at the end of our program which lasts 18 weeks for Air Force officers and 21 weeks for other branches. The internship provides an opportunity to acquire practical experience and expand our viewpoints. I was keen to immerse myself in a new culture, which led me to Southeast Asia. After thoughtful consideration, I chose Vietnam, a country known for its rapid development and rich scientific, cultural, and natural diversity. Goodd889 cá cược trực tuyến was the ideal place for my internship, thanks to its extensive collaborations with French institutions. Additionally, its location in Hanoi ensures a comfortable living environment for me.
Goodd889 cá cược trực tuyến: Can you describe your educational background and what led you to choose the path to become an Air and Space Force Officer?
Antoine: My educational path has followed a fairly traditional route. I completed my baccalaureate in engineering science in Moselle before attending a preparatory program for EAE at the Air Cadets School in Grenoble. I didn’t pass the entrance exam on my first attempt, leading me to spend three years there. My determination paid off when I was admitted to EAE in August 2021. My childhood dream, which I had nurtured since I was ten, finally came true. I have been passionate about aeronautics since I was little and knew early on that I wanted to pursue it as a career. My parents used to take me to as many airshows as possible. It was where I gained exposure to the military and ignited my desire to become a military pilot.
My ultimate goal is to become a fighter pilot, specifically flying a two-seater Rafale. Teamwork is critical to me, and this role would involve a broad spectrum of missions, including air superiority, surveillance, and airspace policy.
Goodd889 cá cược trực tuyến: How do you prepare for your professional training?
Antoine: To effectively prepare for my training, it’s crucial to consistently work hard academically and maintain physical fitness, as we also need to pass athletic tests during the competitive exams. Keeping your dream in focus at all times motivates you to navigate the numerous challenges that arise throughout the course, particularly during the preparation phase.
Goodd889 cá cược trực tuyến: What benefits do you anticipate from your international internship at Goodd889 cá cược trực tuyến?

Furthermore, it is also a chance to meet many new people, thus helping you to form a robust international network. From my point of view, this experience pushes you out of your comfort zone for a few months while fostering your personal and professional growth under circumstances you’re not usually exposed to in France. For me, it previews what my future missions around the globe might entail, but this time from a scientific perspective.

Over my career, I have acquired the rigor and discipline necessary for my job. However, I still need to work on improving my efficiency.
Goodd889 cá cược trực tuyến: Can you share with us what you do in your free time?
