The second post is so important for wannabees. It is not personal, it is good advice. The army cannot recruit enough infantry these days, but trust me, the RAF have a surplus of pilot applications. Just take a minute to think and you can answer your own question. Lots of candidates have your enthusiasm; you have to stand out from the crowd. You may have been red-penned, but often this is what is needed to make people realise what is actually required. If someone is up against you in selection for the minute number of slots and they have better qualifications, grammar, punctuation and apparant personality, they will take YOUR place. First impressions count and your first impression here could have been better. Lucky for you that this doesn't count for real
