How long does NOMI take for PRK waiver?

[Stangbanger]

I submitted my waiver for PRK about a 6 weeks ago now and still haven't heard anything back. If anybody has done this already, how long did it take for you to get some feedback?

It takes a while. I would ask your admin officer to call and follow up. Mine got "lost." I am very lucky that I was in an awesome ROTC unit who ended up taking care of the paperwork and getting the waiver approved for me.

Mine took about 4 months.

Thanks for the replies fellas. I just got selected pilot (yeaaa!!) so now i'm just waiting around on this waiver to go through, so were yall contacted by NOMI or did your staff have to make some calls to get your status?

for my PRK waiver NOMI sent the waiver to the unit automatically after i gotta pilot slot last year. It took 2 weeks, no sweat. I guess I was one of the lucky guys.

How long after surgrey do you have to wait to get a waiver?

You wait 3 months after the procedure and send it in. At least thats what my advisor/medical officer told me.

As far as the waiver process, mine was done in less than a week. They really went out of their way to get it done though, so I could get commissioned as scheduled. I was very lucky to get it done that fast.


Physicx,

Unless it has changed, you have to wait until your 6-month post-op.

I think the better question would be how long does it take to get anything back from the Navy.
