UB
Haven't gone to the links but in laymen's terms he will be given a provisional place on IOT but this is not guaranteed (his performance at his UAS will need to be satisfactory and he will have to pass a fitness test twice (now) a year. If he decides that the RAF is not for him he can refuse the place but he DOES (as far as I'm aware) have to pay back the bursary cash. Seems like a pretty good way to do university if you ask me (with automatic membership of the appropriate UAS which a lot of students would kill for!!).
