Another Medical Query

Hi, just another wanabee new to the forum so Good Evening.
About three years ago my GP found a heart murmur while checking for a chest infection. I later went to a specialist who specialises in this field and underwent tests such as an ECG. He told me that it was a very slight one probably caused as a child and when I asked if the RAF can still be achieved he confirmed it can. I then rang the RAF careers office who confirmed it is not a complete ban on aircrew but the severity will be measured and that is the factor that could stop me. The reason why I entered this forum rather hastily is because I know the RAF's medical can be a bit ''tough'' and anything that could prevent me needs to be noted.

Kind Regards
Mav
