What a bummer- TOO OLD!

Recommended Posts

can anyone else relate to this??

So, I get up onsunday morning, hung over, starving hungry, I look out the window and the clouds are starting to clear. So it's off to St Andrews to jump my Level 6 AFF.

By the time I get there the sun is shining, everything is right with the world.
After a quick runthrough of emergency procedures, it's out with my logbook and filling in the BPA full membership form- NO PROBLEM!

Then, to my utter horror and much anguish, I'm asked for...... wait for it... my FUCKIN MEDICAL FORM!!
MEDICAL FORM>>> WHAT F'ing medical form. Cos I just hit 40, I'm TOO OLD to certify myself.
Dunno about you lot but it didn't half make me feel old.
Oh well, guess it's time to put on my tartan front zipup slippers, put me feet up and watch a bit of soap opera until Thursday, when, so I'm told, it's gonna be sunny!;)

I'm 40, JellyMan. I don't know what to tell you.

I'm too old to be a Federal Air Marshall, but they let younger guys who screw sheep do that over here :P

I just ground and prepped an 80 year old guy for his AFF level one with a letter from his doctor. He had declared he had hypertension, so I needed a note.

Use the exchange rate to your advantage and come over here. The on-site tunnel time at Perris has got to be very attractive.

Or come to Byron and be coddled by good weather and wonderful people.
