CB Towers, thankyou. I'm not entirely sure on what all that means, but I will take it to my optometrist to look at.

In regards to my medical, it was conducted in early July this year.
As I walked into the examining room, the lady who was to examine me saw that I was wearing glasses, and promtly informed me that I would fail because of this. However, she said we would continue with the examination until the eye test. I couldn't read off an eye chart without my glasses, and consequently failed. I'm not sure if she was a doctor or not, but I assume so. If it is any help, I didn't get to the part where I strip down and cough.

After a few phone calls, I was sent a copy of the front page of my medical report as well as instuctions on how to appeal. The front page of my medical report says:

"class 4 for pilot (not examined)"

Both my appeals were written letters posted to the recruiting office in the city, as the intructions said.

Thanks again to everyone
