I just want to make a few more things clearer since the last post that I made.

Even though I have this diagnosis, it did not stop me from being an Air Cadet who has used a rifle (even got a marksman ship and even took responsibility (teaching other cadets)), given opportunities to fly on every occassion, and even taken direct leadership of an NCO group and constantly annoying my officers for being better than themselves.

Even though I have this disorder, surely it does not mean I am not capable of being an officer or performing important tasks.

I should also point out that at most, people with mental health issues are not necessarily a bad thing for any organisation, and if any thing sometimes my own disorder made me better, but so far as the RAF's concern, if I decide to join, would they accept me?
