23MAY2022 SNA/SNFO BOARD

[Mouselovr]

So how many medicals are there? MEPS, OCS, and NAMI?

MEPS approves you for the military.
N3M approves you to be an officer.
OCS is your preliminary flight physical which is then approved by NAMI (this one is the big boy)
NAMI in pcola, they repeat the flight physical again

I taxi’d by some C-5’s yesterday. Not as cool but still inspiring

Doesn't MEPS have some sort of new system that can pull up and screen your civilian health records?? I read about that somewhere...could be a possible explanation for why MEPS is taking so long for folks now

My recruiter said something about a new system where they would pull up your medical records using your SSN. Apparently was implemented late last year. Right after I went through MEPS. A lot more people were getting disqualified or having to go back for various reasons, especially on the enlisted side. Could all be rumors though but my recruiter seemed pretty annoyed by it.

Finally got everything submitted! Sounds like I'll probably get rolled to August, but boy does it feel good to have everything in.

Yeah I got everything submitted too. Feels great. I'm still holding out for may, even though I'm not expecting it.

honestly is probably good. Better to know if you're medically disqualified before attending OCS, than once you get there. I graduated in Jan 28 and there's still a couple of my friends in student pool rn going through medical stuff

Yes, it's called MHS Genesis and it's an electronic system for MEPS to pull in your civilian and military health records, if applicable. Another way to check and verify your medical history to include pharmacy records.

Oh nice! I fly out of KSHD but live right next to Dulles. The drive down there sucks but I’m about to take my check-ride and didn’t want to switch this far in. Flying at KJYO would’ve been soooo much more convenient.

Cool. Swing by and say hi or come fly out of here once your checkride is complete!

This is submitted files though right? At least that is how I read the article. If a kid when he was 2 went to the ER but has no memory of it when he goes to MEPS they won't be going "so 20 years ago tell me what happened"

Oh awesome! My landings always accidentally turn into touch and go’s there cause I’m used to having the 6000 ft runway at shd?
