hayfever in the regiment

[jamie_jet]

how big a deal is hayfever when trying to join the regiment? Its not on the list of medical bars but then the list is not exhaustive. I'm a very mild sufferer never had prescribed medication or an inhaler or anything

Cheers

I put that I had very mild hayfever and was not taking any medication - which i'm not - and I was described as temporarily unfit and unable to do any aircrew positions for 4 years.

I am still fit for groundcrew and am applying as a supply officer.

I've since found out i don't even have hayfever...it's a stupid dairy allergy! This has cleared up 99% since I've stopped having dairy products.

Accupuncture is also meant to be very good for mild hayfever.

Funny you should ask this Jamie, I've just started feeling the effects today, as i do every year! So don't worry about it. The RAF give you all your medication free aswell!!

My advice if it's not on your med docs then don't mention it!
