This may be a blow to Jonesyboy, but the services are not like any other job, and so need to select different folks. Sometimes for reasons that are clear to those serving but a mystery to those wishing to join.
I've come to understand that now matey. I'll nonetheless continue my application and I can only wait and see as to whether I slither round the medical. At this point, whatever the odds, nobody can guess. If all else fails, I would certainly accept a ground role, whatever it may be, that is, if they would even have me do that. Only snag is, I will not stop wanting to become a pilot, lol. I'll certainly be paying for my PPL, IMC, CPL all the way up the ATPL - that is the worst case scenario.
