OCS 02Nov20 SNA/SNFO (Pilot/NFO) Board

[Ghost SWO]

I'm Civ, but had to get a flight phys last year at Ft.Stewart. I might be wrong but your flight phys should be able to transfer over since it should already be a class 1A as long as it was approved by a military flight surgeon.....I don't have that so I can't tell you for sure.

Thanks for that perspective. My flight physical was stamped 1A from a military flight surgeon, so hopefully that does mean I can skip NAMI!

Funny story, when I went to get my eyes tested, they accidentally dilated my eyes BEFORE the sight examination! I was lucky, but I was able to get 20/20 anyway, though I had to try REALLY hard lol

It depends when the exam was given, and remember that Army standards and USN standards have differences, but I too would think you should be good to go.

They dilated my eyes then told me to go do labs. Imagine asking someone to read the name and information on the cup before you go pee in it. lol

Once we're in, anyone know how often the flight physical is? I imagine it's different intervals than what I know on the civilian side with the FAA medicals.

Thanks for the feedback! You’ve been such a huge help during this process. I know it’s not a guarantee, so I won’t hold out hope, but that would be nice!

Oh, same. I still had like half my flight physical left.

 

[Ghost SWO]

Did you guys only do the MEPS physical so far??

Yeah most of the applicants will have only done the MEPS physical before going to OCS. Then we'll get to NAMI later. I appreciate that the Army does a full flight physical before you even apply, nice way to know for sure you can get through medical before you get months or years into a process.

What happens if you don't pass NAMI?

What happens if you don't pass NAMI?

I believe you'll get a couple options.

You can get re-designated into a different job if you want to stay in the Navy (SWO, maybe NFO or others). If not, you can opt to get out of the Navy and you'll get separated.

Well let me give some context from like 80 pages ago in this thread. I think something like 10% or less even got hit with the NAMI and couldn't continue... It's really not a big deal unless you know you've got an issue that might hold you back. If that's the case you weren't going to make it as an aviator anyway. NAMI catches people that shouldn't have gone through in the first place, depth perception issues, maybe color blindness, etc.

Interesting, I didn’t know that.

But idk if the Army does flight physicals for street-to-seat candidates. Since I was still in, I just walked down to the airfield medical facility and was basically like, “hey, could you help a guy out?” Haha

Ah that's nice they did that for you.

When I went to talk to the Army recruiter he said that was what they did for the WOFT applicants, they would actually drive candidates down in a GOV to do their flight physical before starting an application.

They do flight physicals for street to seat, you will not be officially screened for WOCS/WOFT without it

Flight physicals are good for a year, expiring on the last day of your birth month (unless an extension is granted for deployment or extenuating circumstance, like COVID). Long form flight physicals are required every -5 and -0 birth year (20, 25, 30,...) and include some extra tests like fasted blood work.
