This is my first post so I hope I have the right section.
I am attending OASC for my medical and fitness testing for aircrew (pilot).
My problem is that I am taking part in the Nijmegen Marches '08 and there is an RAF qualifying event in a couple of weeks which lasts two days and involves 50 miles of walking with a considerable amount of weight. Obviously this is going to be demanding on my body and the same day I finish walking is the same day I am heading up to OASC Cranwell to begin the medical tests the following day. I am concerned this physical exertion will produce abnormal results in my medical, and the lack of proper rest mentally and visually may affect my eyesight tests.
Am I being too worried or are these genuine concerns I should have?
If so I need to consider whether I should go to this qualifier.
Thanks for the help.
