lifes unfair
 
hey bruv life is unfair accept it.
I wanted to be a fighter pilot in the RAF since i was little but i had glasses so that was a no go for me.

when i found that out from the AFCO i was to be honest gutted.
from then on fooked around at school didn't really apply myself.
done crap on my exams and basicly fooked things up.

really should have done better i could have been a wsop or a loadie.
but now im a painter in the RAF. Not all that bad currently remustering to squipper.

so just because you couldn't be a pilot now tough luck son there's always 2010 you will be only 20!

so don't come on here moaning about it at least you have a chance of being a pilot! there is plenty of people who would love to be one and can't.
and by the way people who say they can be the best at anything usually fail!

WB Matt, indeed they are, but if you looked to see where rafmatt comes from you would see that loadies will be pretty thin on the ground.

And really is an ALM really a WSOp, if you see what I mean?

Indeed how many AEOps/ALMs have rebadged to WSOp?

Loadies pre- Wsop introduction = Loadies

Loadies post-Wsop introduction = WSOp (Crewman) (Fixed Wing)

*phew* ;)

I was thinking they'd all been breathing OPs (Organo-phosphates)! Still as long as they don't start enjoying it, who are we to complain?

I get the feeling that there was a bit of a reaction to the word 'No!' from on high. It seems to be apparent that youngsters never ever hear the word 'No!' and can't handle rejection. Maybe it was an older generation thing where 'No, you cannot have a banana, they're rationed, and no chocolate till Friday!' meant that rejection and no were handled so much better. This was only 'Not yet!' and look at the 'toys throwing, prams out of, for the use of!'! This wasn't even full rejection, but I have no hopes that this gift of extra time will not be wasted on Playstation as opposed to remedial education. It is certainly a case of 'I want it, and I want it now!, and GHY (God Help You) if I don't get it!'

I wish the young man all the luck, next time around, that he can make for himself, after improving English, possibly maths, Ethics and maturity. If there is any advice I would profer, it would be: don't waste time lounging around 'waiting', eating KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) and shooting Playstation- there is no time to be lost- any time spent of self improvement will be like gold to him. I hope the lesson is not lost and the damage permanent- but it's a character thing mostly. He can still come out of this with his ambition satisfied, and as a well educated, honest young man.

I don't. Lets hope he not only ends up eating KFC's, but actually ends up getting a job cleaning the toilets in his local KFC restaurant. :ok:
