Asthma & the RAF
Hi
I'm 13 and looking to go into the RAF as a FJ pilot when I'm older, however I do suffer from asthma, albeit lightly. Would this affect my chances as a FJ pilot much. The last time I had any serious effect of it was when I was about 7 however my GP reckons it may catch up with me in later life. How would the RAF react to this do you think?
It would be rather upsetting if this would be a problem as I'd have little problem passing officer selection (according to what people tell me!), and I've flown a bit in a Russian Yak52 at RNAS Yeovilton (about 2 hours total) and a RN Lt (Yak pilot & 15yrs on the FA2) says that I could do very well in FJs with some good training.
