Well i went to see the RAF careers people today and i gave them a long, long, story, about that fact that i wanted to be a pilot BUT i had hayfever.

Sooooo,

They asked me if the hayfever caused me to cough or wheeze in any way, i replied.."No"

They said do you take any prescribed medication for you hayfever, i replied.."No"

They enquired how bad my hayfever was at the height of summer, i replied.."Very mild. So mild i dont take any medication."

They said you can still become a fast jet pilot, i replied.."Yay!" Lol

Great big thanks to everyone trying to help me out with my hayfever problem!

And I'm sure it will be extremely fun!

Lol! I was just about to post words to that effect. The only thing I could find about hayfever in the medical part of the intranet site was with reference to using anti-hystamines (dodgy spelling!), and it specifically mentioned the scenario of aircrew having using them for hayfever - so obviously its not a major problem.

Nice one EGNX (funny name that? It not the one on your birth certificate is it? ). Keep us posted, and if you have any RAF related questions feel free to drop me a PM... As I've said, getting your foot in the door at OASC is the hardest bit, so work as hard as you can, get the grades and give yourself the best shot you can when you come to apply for selection in the next year or two. Good luck!

There you go EGNX.

Now keep your sights focused and your six clear.

Better yet....how about free rides.....

Don't worry, you will.

Better yet....how about free rides.....

Dunno about free ones... I saw someone suggesting that we offer flights in the same manner that the Russians do to fill their coffers!!!

If you can give free rides, let me know, then I can cross off one of the items on my "must do before death" list- fly, or at least ride in a fighter jet.

Good for you EGNX!!  :)

 I'm also a fifteen year old boy, with the same dream as every fifteen year old boy, Military Pilot!

Sixteen years old, about to get my PPL, also hope to be a USAF pilot (the recruiter said I had an above average chance)

wow, must be nice, i have tried the service 3 times and they said no 3 times, got psorisis (skin problem) and that keeps me from gettin in, gay if you ask me, as i have wrote letters and begged that i did not care and would do whatever they asked but still they so no

o well, truck driving school it is.
