I'm not ranting, just agreeing with the common sense shown by some on here.
That job includes passing the fitness test! If you don't do the job then you are not being professional.
As some have quoted on here, the RAF fitness test isn't exactly a challenge. And as some have also said, people do find ways of getting out of doing it. I'll wager those that have found a way around it are the ones it was originally aimed at - the salad dodgers. Long queues outside sick bay prior to the test with lots of 'back problems and twinges in the leg' no doubt.
