  Hi jus-tea,

  Do have a look at tetsumi's 2nd reply here to have an idea of the length of the waiting period:  http://forums.keeptouch.net/archive/index.php/t-10681.html

  As for your 2nd question, the answer is yes.

  Cheers.

  Thanks. So it'll be about 2 months if i make it? But i've a history of childhood asthma and sensitive nose. There's a high possibility it will count against me right?

  for ACS vocations, i think posted to heli sqns more exciting cause you're involved with real life ops, although got many shift works to do.. posted to transport squadrons if kena those loadmaster shit farking boring and dull. Although i think flight engineers are paid the highest, not sure whether its under ACS vocations though..

  they're actually army in airforce clothing the no.3 that is.. but you'll probably only wear it for parades cause you'll be in no.4 most of the time.

  what i heard is that those are the minimum criteria if you want to apply for LSA. but getting it is another matter. someone told me that in order to be approved for LSA (if you're doing alvls), you will need results of AAB/A.

  can't confirm though.can anyone with experience pls clarify about this??=)

  u mean aeromed at RSAF Medical Centre huh ? That one not that easy to pass lor...alot of eyechecks, then measure ur limbs, ECG lah...blood test lah...ear and nose test, then see if ur ears can 'pop' anot. if u clear-cut pass case, then wun get any response for 3 weeks or so...if u require review, they will contact u withint 1-2 weeks. so if by 2 weeks no contact u means more or less clear liao....of cos if u fail u will get letter very the soon. no news means good news for RSAF

  they fly late the certain sqn will close the same time as them, very bohua...

  i got a newbie nurse to draw my blood that day,she poked me twice.=( super pain for the 1st one cos it was 'poke' into the wrong spot.haha

  kinda worried for my checkup. everything was perfect except for the ECG. i had to 'cycle' many times before the my report was submitted to the final doc.does this mean anything? the doc mentioned it was ok though.

  What has this got to do with RSAF? Sounds more like PES worries.

  If the doct say its mine, it should be cos if there was any problems, they would have told you to go for further checkups.
