| greetings all,a newbie here!! i'm planning on applying for the cadetships next year,but i have a question.i recently got an eye test done and,alas,didn't meet the 6/9 standard(i'm 6/12 in one eye and 6/18 in the other). i'm really disappointed by this and i'm wondering is there any "flexibility" in this requirement? don't want to sound cocky but i think i meet every other requirement pretty well,i've been working on building up my fitness,relevant experience etc. anybody know if i'm stil in with a chance? cheers. p.s great site frank,i've been a long time lurker! |
The only ones to go through the medical (as its so expensive) are the 6 or so potential cadets and a few reserves (in case the others fail). So its hard to know. Your best bet would be to ring the competitions section and ask if there's any flexibility.

Had the final interview yesterday along with an interview with a psychologist and hand/eye coordination tests. Went well I thought, now just a matter of waiting on the postman to find out!
