The People's Liberation Army is looking for young men and women who want to soar. The PLA Air Force has begun its pilot recruitment for 2018. Stations have been set up in eight cities, including Beijing, Nanjing, Chengdu, and Xi'an. Over 13,000 junior and senior high school graduates of military academies will participate in the candidate selection exams, about twenty percent more than last year. And for the first time, it's taking place ahead of the national college entrance exam, or Gaokao. This is to fast-track more top-notch candidates.
