background-
"In fact they never even check up on your medical records so if you don't say anything they would never know."
Well erm yes, but in a silly fit of naiviety I put it down. Well to be honest I discussed this with lots of people on the school before I had the medical because I knew that it could be a problem, and the general concensus was it wouldn't be a factor. OOps. The one person I should have spoke to was the CO who "had some experience in these matters" but didn't for some reason.
I can still remember the exact moment I told him as he was climbing in to do some SCT, his exact words were "you may have prematurely curtailed your flying career". Yup.

Maybe the severity was different, or the doctor/MO thought differently and this was 8 years ago so maybe things have changed; but for me it was the end of the road for military flying. I mean now with a class 1 I easily qualify but i've moved on to other things so i'll never know.
It was a coincidence that I got binned from both at the same time (Gliding Med and OASC) as I had them at different times but the results came back on practically the same day.
As for the thread starter- DavidDatter708- I was in your exact position back in '97. If I could go back and give myself advice it would be
"At the gliding/VGS medical say nothing"- So (Assuming your in the Air Cadets) yes you could fly and gain invaluable experience.
"As for the RAF/Military Aircrew"- Don't waste your time. Get on to the CAA in Gatwick with details of your condition and see about getting a Class 1, and if it works out find sponsorship for CPL/fATPL or whatever.
Sorry to be blunt but it's a non starter.
