I’ve applied a couple of times before this and one attempt was rejected after medical. The rest were pretty much unsuccessful after SAs or no SAs at all. I understand how anxious it can get while waiting for the replies but as many have said here, ‘no news means good news’ is true.
Don’t give up applying if you really want a career in SPF. All the best everyone!
