I could always understand the rationale behind everything else in the interview, but this one always smacked of a 'byegone age.'
Whilst Diggin's "prat" is a bit strong what on earth is wrong with a question like that
OASC and the subsequent Airman Aircrew or Officer courses now at Cranwell, my AAITC was at Finningly, are nothing more than yard sticks used to see if the individual has what it takes. Bed packs, bull nights, carrying pine poles up hill and down dale, stretcher run etc etc are all designed with nothing more in mind than seeing if you can stay the course.
I have not a single formal educational qualification to my name yet to me the above stands out like the proverbial dogs appendage which is why I am struggling to understand yours and the OP's confusion on the matter
