Congratulations on your ability to write such clear and straightforward English with only one spelling mistake. It is a rare skill at your age and you should be proud of yourself.

I too was frustrated in my desire to join the RAF as a pilot because it turned out that I was colour blind (I had always been aware that everyone I knew seemed to have problems with colours, but it had never ocurred to me that the problem lay in my own retinas).

However, I went on to join the RAF anyway; trained as an engineering officer and had a wonderful time and a long career.

My point is that, if your medical record rules you out of a flying career, there are other options for which you may be acceptable and they can be very rewarding.

Your ability to write good English may well, for instance, suggest a career in the Administration Branch would suit you.
