Thanks Scroggs,

Class 1 Medical - might be a problem there, iv just had a look on google, i believe the visual requirements for astigmatism are 2.00. On my glasses prescription is has the following:

Right Eye:
Sphere = -0.50
Cyl = +2.50
Axis = 10

Left Eye:
Sphere = -0.50
Cyl = +2.75
Axis = 165

Can anyone give me more information on this!!! i hope it wont stop me get the medical!

Qualifications - Yeah A levels might not matter when getting a job at the age of 26 but its good to have and everything helps

Finance - Yep, regiment isnt the best pay in the world but ill find a way.

Why the regiment - You said about not havign anything to do with aircraft, a career in the regiment, after 1 years service you can specialise onto say a helicopter squadron, parachute out of aircraft, and every job involves the airfield with things like security of the aircraft, things like that. Thats why i chose it.
