I am currently 14 and I have asthma since the time when I was born. Can i become an aircrew who fly fast jet?? (assumming that my fitness is above average)

The RAF (and the RN) do not differentiate on entry between those bound for fast jets, slow jets, helicopters etc. For more on asthma read this thread. (http://www.pprune.org/search.php?searchid=4378882)

It's just possible that if you can stay free of symptoms for four or more years that the Royal Navy will look at your case, but don't bank on it.

This question has been asked *many* times here, and I am sure that if you do a search (click 'forum tools', then 'search') you will get your answer.

Good luck.
