OneFifty,

Is that for the RN or RAF?

According to Headquartes Air Command; I spoke to them a couple of weeks ago, they basically said that "any potential recruit with a medical history of asthma after the age of 4, is ineligibile to join as aircrew".

I spoke to the RN about it and they said the 4 year rule, I asked the Secretary of State for Defence about it also and he had no clue so passed it over to the RAF.

RAF AFCO said no one has any chance if you ever suffered from Asthma.

Bit confusing!
