Karl matey, once again bad luck with the elephant's graveyard - the undoing of many a would-be military aviator. a few words of encouragement: the thing to remember is that you're applying to be part of a club (for want of a better word) and the board will always have the final word. after being on a UAS i've known many good odds-on candidates in similar positions to you. been there and been bitter about the whole thing myself (it wears off), however, it's make or break time. if you were/are seriously considering the RAF as a career you will go back - if not...join RN and feel a man or mr eddington et al might accept your application, although, with the current climate i also know some chaps just chopped from that programme aswell. think slow. as the OASC sage said to me "if you keep knocking someone will open the door" - best of luck to you.

KarlH, an alternative to GD(P) in the RAF? Nothing in the same league. Don't let them get you down. You obviously have what it takes so don't give up. OASC have a tough job but I can't help but think they're particularly short sighted at times. Try and look at this as the first of many difficult hurdles that makes the end result so much more rewarding! Don't move on to live and regret it .... well that's my 2p worth.
