Fuzz,
Unfortunately, you are sadly typical of today's bone-idle self-centred teenage oxygen theives who expect everything to be handed to them on a plate, and feel that 4 A's in a rigged, impossible-to-fail excuse for an exam means that the world owes you a living.
It doesn't.
Nor will it give you one.
You are in for a big shock, whatever career you choose.
If a 12 yr commitment is too much for you, you are DEFINITELY not what we are looking for. Has it occurred to you that maybe the board had a question mark over your commitment and initiative, and left you alone for a while to see how you'd react?
Seems like RAF recruitment is working just fine to me. It weeded you out.
