Some years ago I went to an RAF reunion with erstwhile BFTS colleagues. I had survived a chop ride but a few who hadn't came along. They had all done really well in civyy street. Degrees, corporate careers and loadasamoney. The shock of being chopped had given some of these guys the kick in the pants they needed.
I would never write anybody off for poor exam results. I recall re sitting a few CPL exams - 4 times for one paper. I also failed my first IR. After that nothing held me back - except for the odd company or two going bust . . .
