RAF Medically Unfit Appeal
Hi there,
I’m trying to apply for an apprenticeship as an RAF Avionics Technician, Last time I had an asthma episode was 2012 Where I was prescribed Oral Steroids, 11 Years on and I’m no longer considered asthmatic and it is no longer an Active problem according to my GP I was just wondering if I should bother appealing or will I be turned down, Ive worked labour intensive jobs for the last 2 years with no issues and haven’t used any form of asthma control since 2015.

Just to clarify, you don't apply for an apprenticeship with the Armed Forces. There is one route into the military, as a full serving member, and you can gain an apprenticeship by successful completion of training.
Basically, it doesn't matter what you can cope with in civilian life; medical standards for the Armed Forces are designed from research and risk assessment for a very different lifestyle.
You can appeal if you can.provide information, with evidence from a professional, that is new or in addition to what is in your medical records. You haven't said why you failed the medical - and don't need to on here - but you need to address the specific issue(s) raised in your rejection letter.
