Isn't Flt. Lt. Whelan a thoroughly nice bloke ?

He is indeed, though not located there anymore. His replacement is quite a nice bloke too.

Gemma I still have your RAF News, haven't forgotten them.

Oh and the studentroom.co.uk - have had a quick read through some of the posts - and there is some outrageous tosh posted in it - quarters for same sex couples!!!! Blackhawk where did you get that from as it certainly isn't policy.

It's from a joint services publication on housing, I will dig it ...

I declared that I wore glasses and OASC phoned me. The conversation went like this.

'We noticed that you wear glasses but wish to apply for pilot, can you tell us if you use glasses regularly'

'No, I use them occasionaly for reading but haven't had need of them in over a year. I had my eyes tested ...

From Blackhawk's other half, a serving pilot....

I used to work at OASC. They check the full medical records of every single applicant . If there is a condition that precludes you flying, it's there for a VERY GOOD reason.

If you have an asthma attack on a solo sortie in the Tucano, you'll die. If ...

Yes, they check every single application. Of course they do. They aren't going to put someone through multi million pound training and not do a full history and medical check on him. If he has suffered from asthema then he NEEDS to declare it. They will find out and he will be in the shit when they ...

Purely curiousity and something I discussed once with an ex who was a RMC. Are there oppertunities for women in the special forces? If so, what?

HN posted a link of info about people lying on their application forms but this seems to have disappeared in the forum move.

So you're all hiding here! Came back after time away and couldn't find the ruddy joining and training bit. Got all confused that I had to re register on military forums.

I'm still waiting until January for OASC...
