I contacted my local AFCO today with a few questions about my chosen trade (WSOp).
After a few routine questions I was informed that they will not let me join the RAF as Aircrew because I have Hayfever. Apparently they 'can not ship me off to Afghanistan with a years supply of Piriteze'.
Is this a legitimate medical reason why I cannot join as a WSOp?
I was immediatley told i could however still apply and see what happens. So can I go for it or not?
Also the gentleman asked if I persued any team activities outside of work. My only response was 'I play for a local football team'. I was then informed that my competition for my chosen trade included a guy who has a Degree, has captained his rugby team for 6 years, helps out at a local disabled charity and also does long distance bike rides to raise money for other charities.
I CAN compete with this type of person by raising money and by partaking in volunteer work, however I cannot just obtain a Degree!
Am I in a dream world and in reality I have no chance of getting past the interview? Or should i go and visit my local charities and help out every weekend and plan a John O'Groats to Lands End Event to prove i can integrate with the community and be a real selfless team player?
Any advice is greatly appreciated
