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 ?

Having just read all the literature, I believe that you must have been clear of asthma for 4 years (almost the first question my ACFO asked, in fact).

Hayfever requirements are simply that you should not have severe hayfever, sounds fairly subjective to me.

Ok.

Thx for the Info.

I believe the 4 year rule only applies if you've required an inhaler for your hayfever.

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 no matter how mild.

I was thinking the Marines would only be harsh on the wheezing type of hayfever, since the RAF Regiment is also a ground unit who accepts mild forms of hayfever, all though there is a bit of a differnce in quality beetween the Marines and RAF Regiment which got me wondering if it was the same.

i think if you have had a hayfever prescription in the last 4 years they have a problem with it otherwise how are they to know?

Thank Hod....sorry God you hit the H key. As just to the left of it is the G key. It's so easy to hit the wrong Key you know. Like I just sid...sorry did.

That would have given the thread a whole new meaning I reckon!
