Fancsnbeans -
I know how hard it is for you. i was once in the same predicament as you. That dream for a wannabe RAAF pilot has been there. The hardest thing for me was going back to cranwell to face the same people who told me i couldn't become a pilot. I'd managed to get a flying scholarship second time round, why not this?

I have an astigmatism in the right eye, and am slightly long sighted, meaning both my eyes don't work together too well. Thing is i wasn't going to let this get me down. I re applied having knowledge of what i was up against, went to cranwell and i got through.
The fact is to NEVER give up on your dream and let no one take it away from you. I think all pilots one day where in the same boat, but its determination and a fresh mind that got them through. We all here wish you the very best of luck.
Fly high my friend.
