I know I said I wouldn't post for the rest of the weekend but I really must. (Besides, how many of you knew that I wasn't going to post?)

Some of you will remember that I applied to join the RAF. Well, after two weeks of waiting, I finally got a reply:

"Dear Mr Stewart

I am writing to thank you for your interest in the Royal Air Force, which resulted in your recent application to join. However, I regret to inform you that it has not been possible to accept your offer of service.

In common with civilian organizations, it is not the policy of the Ministry of Defence to disclose specific reasons for not accepting an application for service; this was, of course, explained to you in our literature which you received when you first applied. There are many reasons why applications cannot be accepted and some of these are unique to the Royal Air Force, where the qualities required are often quite different from those needed to make a success in other walks of life. The standards for entry are not only high but of a very special kind.

I realize the disappointment that this letter may cause you but I thank you for your interest and wish you every success in an alr=ternative career.

Yours sincerely

G A Hamilton
Flight Lieutenant
Office Commander"

I am very annoyed at the fact that they didn't even give me a reason, but I'm gonna go and ask about it on Monday. I just thought I'd share this with you all, it makes me feel slightly better...
