Does anyone on this forum have or know someone who has Prolonged Q-T syndrome. It's an abnormality with the electrical signals in your heart. My commission (which is in one month) is in jeopardy because the Dr.s "discoved" this during my flight physical. Any info would be helpful.

I don't know of anyone with this syndrome.
It is not out of the ordinary for an ECG to be mis read, especially with someone who appears to be as athletic as you are. As I recall from your other post on this subject, your ROTC physical did not indicate the presence of prolonged Q-T syndrome(sometimes called LQTS).
My best guess is that the docs will do another ECG (and probably have it read by a cardiologist), a stress test and maybe hook you up to a Holter monitor.
You also should consider getting an outside opinon. Might cost you a few $$$, but may end up being well worth the extra cost.
