RN Aircrew Medical...Advice please!

Hi all,

Apologies if this has already been covered, but an initial search of threads proved fruitless...

I'm 23, recently graduated from uni, and am looking to join the RN as an aircrew officer. I have previously served in the RAuxAF, and also was in my University Royal Navy Unit.

I was rejected for RAF aircrew due to having a couple of salbutamol inhalers in early childhood for what "may or may not have been mild childhood asthma" according to my GP. I've heard that the RN has a generally more reasonable medical policy from speaking to some aircrew types at a visit to Dartmouth. Can anyone confirm? Or does anyone have accurate details of aircrew medical requirements and how they may differ from RAF requirements?

Cheers in advance
