Whilst at the risk of sounding controversial, the sanctimonious replies by Warty and Pontious astound me.
Think back - getting in to fulfill the dream of a lifetime was everything, or at least it was for me at the age of 19. If getting through the process involved the odd lie to get through the procedure then it strikes me as showing determination, cunning and initiative. To counter your points:
1. It never ceased to amaze me, the number of aircrew who suddenly developed hayfever during flying training.
2. To criticise the chap's spelling smacks of a sanctimonious view that trandscends the very nature of this website. I would be the first to admit that the majority of my flight, including me, were appalling at service writing in IOT but given we were going GD, this was washed over, by and large. I was there to learn and I still get by, albeit in a different service now.
Cut the guy some slack. As aircrew, we are, or have been, members of a privelidged club. Try and encourage others to achieve the standards we did - none of us were perfect, and as my records used to show, I was far from it.
