Thank you for the replies everyone.
Do you know what specifically the guys failed on?
I'm assuming the instructors at Cranwell are there to get you through the course and don't *want* to fail anyone... However, If you're not fit enough or don't have the right temperment for the job, then I suppose they have no choice.
I'm just wary of giving up a job (in this economic climate) to then be looking for one in 19 weeks time! However, if I were to be offered a ground trade, that wouldn't be so bad.
I don't know why I'm focussing on failing, I undersatnd that is the wrong attitude, but I am just gathering as much information as I can to ensure I make the right decisions
Thanks again for the information.
