Does anyone here have any information on post nasal drip disorder how it affects the flight physical? I have done my flight physical and all but they want to send me to a ENT doctor b/c I mentioned that I had childhool allergies. Is there anyone who can shed some light on this subject? Is it possible to get a waiver for it? How easily can they detect it? Does it really have a big impact while you are flying? Any additional info would be helpfull...thanks.

I was given a sudden NPQ for allergies/post nasal drip after I'd been an NFO for 17 years. Some numbnuts O-3 at NAMI with too much time on his hands grounded me. After elevating it up through the wing and getting a recommendation from the commodore, I was readmitted to the ranks of the flying.

Keep fighting. Post nasal drip only gives you permanently hideous breath and forces your crew to make you sit back at the MAD boom most of the time (for you P-3 types). Just kidding. Keep applying for a waiver or a second/third/fourth look. The Navy prizes motivation beyond almost anything else.
