I think that's enough Wing Man bashing for now, chaps! :E

Mods - can this be merged into the generic sticky please?

Wing Man. Unless you can handle the banter herein you would not survive amongst the junior officers of the RAF. You could make an excellent Squadron Leader though.

Now, where is Beags with his yoof-speak?

Better make a move soon because the cut off age for pilot in the RAF is 23 years.
Plus, the application stage takes a awful longtime. I still havn't got my dates for OASC, but fingers crossed they should come this week :)

I'm not going to write PMSL or anything, but Tigs you did actually have me in hysterics.

And with regards to this:


Point taken, however I do not like being patronised for minor spelling mistakes when typing on a forum.
Then get the :mad: out of here lofty.

And with regards to this little gem:


there is obviously no point in perusing my ambition
... Running before you can walk comes to mind.

He's gone off to get advice elsewhere;

Class 1 & asthma

Oddly enough, his spelling has improved too.

Wingman - think I have a definitive answer for you.

Recently went to a combined AFCO (all services) with regard to finding out one thing from source itself before I was too late. Any prizes for guessing what that was?

Me, entered the said building and went to the RAF Sgt on the desk.

Sgt "What can we do for you today?"

Me "I'm interested in joining but I have a history of Asthma"

Sgt "It's now law that the Armed forces cannot accept applicants with any history of asthma" (Note ALL Armed Forces, any part thereof including Airman trades).

The short story is they don't want the hassle. Fair enough. It makes no difference that I've held a JAA class 1 medical (unrestricted flight crew Licence) for 4 years.

So don't waste your time.

Hope this helps.
