Seeking Advice
Hypothetically if somebody had passed all relevant testing, medical and aptitude for pilot and is awaiting an offer, who has asthma but requires no medication or treatment for it by controling thier breathing, what would be people's advice? Anyone ever been in a similar situation?
Sorry to keep asking similar question, but very keen to see opinions.....for interests sake.

FW,
You keep asking the same question, despite the wealth of quality answers, on topic, that you are receiving.
Bottom line: If an applicant for aircrew doesn't disclose an asthmatic condition recorded on his medical docs, regardless of how it is controlled, he will be guilty of falsifying a declaration, which is punishishable under military law.
Sure, the records might not be checked once the individual has passed all of the entry checks, but there is an annual medical check and some of the doctors do take time out to have a look at the medical history of the person they are about to sign up for another year.
It would be naive to think that it is a risk worth taking.
And the chances of anyone here owning up to such a stupid act is negligible.
