Raf Blood disorder entry

Hi

I have a factor 5 blood disorder that is so so so mild it doesn’t affect me in any way, 50-150 is considered normal and I’m around high 40s. My doctor said it doesn’t affect my ability to do anything physical and even wounds are not affected! Would I be allowed entry into the RAF despite this or even into the University air Squadron. I have wanted to do this since I was a kid and the news is so recent it’s annoying?
Does this matter and is there any way around this?
Many thanks!

Read this; the only way to find out if you are eligible for anything is to apply. Your doctor can't make a judgement on whether you are medically fit as managing to live a normal life in civvy street does not mean you could cope with life in the Armed Forces.
