Physics and the RAAF

Sorry for a bit of a thread derail, but this is the last week I have to change subjects, I think...

I've asked about school subjects and the way the RAAF/DFR will look at you before, but in regards to science, will it hurt you if you don't do either physics or chem during Years 11/12? The reason I'm asking is because of the two tests I got back from school today, the Econs Test was 88%, and the Physics test about half that. To be honest, I don't give a sh*t about how water boils, that Kelvin is something like -273 degrees C, or anything along that train of thought (not exactly, but you get the idea)

I took physics in the first place because I was told some of the content related closely to Aviation, but seeing as I'm already doing an Aviation Subject, I'll probably learn most of what I would've gleaned during Physics in that. And besides, I've been able to tell someone how a plane flies since I was about six years old.
