I take Benadryl/Zyrtec occasionally when I get a cold. I do not have allergies though. I put down on my flight physical that I take those medications. Will that stop my package from being approved or as long as I’m not on it when flying it’s ok?

How long did it take for you to hear back from NAMI about your flight physical? No waivers required. -p.s. enlisted waiting for flight physical to cross rate

Hi, looking for advice - I am currently a winged aviator (1310), in the middle of my first sea JO tour. I was granted a waiver for intervertebral disc disease from NAMI before flight school with No symptoms at the time. I am looking for someone to help me understand how my medical status would...

Off the record, for a friend, of course. I’m trying to get some information regarding processes for being DQ’d while on flight status (Tactical Jets). Long story short, there’s a high probability that “my friend” has been diagnosed with “Major Depressive Disorder, Recurrent, Severe” as well as...

So you arrive at OCS and you do a medical exam. And then you do an exam with NAMI right after that. However, then you arrive in Pensacola, wait around for NIFE, THEN you do another exam with NAMI with another chance to potentially DQ? So you could wait around for a year to start flight school...

Just graduated OCS. I'm on PTAD for another 5 months before TBS starts. I've already been through NAMI and qualified and everything. However, I'm trying to decide if it would be a good idea to try and get PRK or LASIK in one eye (shooting eye) before TBS starts. I took the flight physical a year...

Hi everyone, longtime lurker of this website. Recently finished my up-chit follow up with the flight surgeon here in Pensacola and he said that I'm gonna have to start the waiver process for my history of heat cases. A little background, I am a marine SNA and experienced heat exhaustion twice...

Going to NAMI soon, and was wondering if they will turn you away if you have anything less than 20/20, but better than 20/40? Will they tell you to get a prescription or PRK/LASIK and then come back at a later date? How will they know you're correctable to 20/20? I'm just trying to figure out if...

Hi there, I'm new to posting on here. Been following Air Warriors for a while now. So the catch-22 here is: I've got a slot at NAMI for a flight physical in 1.5 weeks. I've also got a slot for a vaccine that would be administered a week before the flight physical. My question is to those of...

Background: So I used to search function to find a similar instance of what I am going thru and could not find any useful info. So I am applying to SNA and already took the ASTB. Last year I had a vision test done and was told I had a slight near sightedness in my eyes. I have glasses for 20/35...

Good Evening All, I am trying to find out if there is a waiver available for flight training (USMC) in the 4000 range. I was told there were non given by a flight surgeon however, one of my peers currently has one and is set to attend training at Pensacola. My latest test showed: 4000-65 I...

I know many ppl get dq’ed bc of anthro standards. What is the biggest one is it just sitting height, any other ones? What are those requirements and how can you be sure you meet those? I’d hate to go through the process, to just find out I can’t fly bc of my body. If so are your dreams over and...

I'm in the process of applying for OCS as an aviation contract to become a pilot. During vision testing at NAMI I was told I have stereopsis and am unqualified to become a pilot because of it. However the doctor did mention vision therapy can help improve/ cure the problem but he didn't seem...

I wear glasses and my prescription is within the NAMI standards to get PRK or LASIK out of pocket. (-3.25, -3.0) I am starting the application process for PLC-Air and I was planning on having the surgery this spring so I have a 6+ month window for everything to check out before MEPS and NAMI...

Hi everyone. First let me say, I have searched the form and have not seen something addressing this question. Additionally, I have asked my recruiter and also the flight surgeon I saw and haven't gotten a direct or concise answer. Thanks for taking the time to read. I am an SNFO OCS applicant...

After searching for the topic I couldn't find a suitable past thread. My question is just a general one for OCS. Im heading to OCS in 4 weeks and I have a filling that is cracking. I'm in no pain or discomfort but I'm wondering if I should have this, or any other potential dental problems...

Ever since I read about people having to redesignate by the flight surgeons when they get to Pensacola, Ive been sort of terrified about the whole thing. I read one example of somebody with sinus problems that got rejected... I have a permanent stuffy right or left nostril, for whatever reason...

Hello Everyone, I am a high school student who is very interested in becoming a Naval Aviator. However, I was born with a Ventricular Septal Defect (normal EKG and hemodynamically insignificant). I understand this condition is disqualifying and it will require a waiver. Upon further discussion...
