Rejected at Airforce because of airsickness

Hi All,

I know this is a widely discussed topic here at Pprune, but I think my problem is a bit different.

My story:

My dream was, since I was a little boy, to be a pilot at the Dutch Airforce. When it was the right time to start the selection the feeling like: 'this is what I want!' was growing and I started the selection. Everything went very well from the psychological test till the medical test etc. After that I had to fly 6 flights on a Slingsby Firefly and this is the point where I thought I could not make my dream come true. Every flight I had to deal with airsickness and one time it caused me to (how do you say that in English uhm..) 'puke'. When I was flying I had no problems but when the instructor was taking it over, the problems began.

Because of all this, they decided to reject me and I will not get the opportunity to ever try this again. Does any of you know what I can do to get rid of this?

Thanks!

Mark
