Proud of my son

My sixteen year old has gone for the first stage of his RAF selection procedure - the fitness test. Sit ups, followed by press ups, followed immediatley by the bleep test. As the youngest there, his target was less than for the six other candidates (aged 18-24), but he beat the lot of them.

He still has to go for his main interview and also to the officer and aircrew selection centre. At the OASC they monitor them continuously for 4 days, at the end of each day sending home any that have not made the grade. It is tough - apparently out of one recent batch of 273 only 2 made it through. But I think my lad has it!
