Can you define 'Mild Hay Fever'?

I would suggest that any form of hayfever requiring medication WASN'T mild. Thus, any medical record / prescriptions for hayfever are likely to see you ineligible. That, however, would be for the OASC Med staff to decide when you applied.

Mild Hayfever is ...

The hayfever rule for aircrew is the same as the ashtma one, you can't ever have had it, simple as that.

Not according to the sheet my AFCO gave me the other day.

"Hayfever. If you have been sympton-free from mild hay fever (Without wheeze) for 4 years, you may ...

With any recorded history of hayfever, you're ineligible to be aircrew. You need a certain number of years' clearance from things like hayfever and asthma to be a ground branch officer, but they can't risk reoccurrence in aircrew.
Actully its 4 years clear of Hayfever for Aircrew.

I think that's it.

It cant be all armed forces clear for 4 years, because my mate just joined the RAF Regiment and he has Mild Hayfever.

I think it's only clear of 4 years if you have had the wheezing type of hayfever, like you said above, and for Pilot in the RAF it's all types of Hayfever ...

Hay Fever, in The Marines.

Ok, just a quick question for anybody who might know.

I know the RAF has a policy that you must have been clear of Hayfever for 4 years to be a pilot.

Do the Marines also have a policy on people who have had Hayfever ?

When i broke my wrist about 4 years ago, i had it in Cast for 6 weeks.

It feels weird once it's out and you cant move it properly for about another 2-3 days after it's out, so about 2-3 days after it's out i would imagine you would be able to start training again, i'm no expert on this though, that ...

Put it this way:

Sneeze flying a jet at 250 feet, travelling at 500mph, the next thing you do is disintegrate with the a/c.

Would the jet not have a pollen filter, pretty much every modern car has one these days :D

LoL, Anyway, even though i've actully been Hayfever free for 2/3 years now i ...
