SNA Physical Before OCS?

I'm getting a flight physical before OCS and I've heard of others who have done the same. It's probably a good idea to get it before you go to OCS, because from what I understand, once to go to OCS, if you're not qualified, you're screwed. Ask your recruiter. I'm getting my flight physical at the end of February and I have to drive 7 hours to get there, but I'm getting it done.

Remember he is there for YOU. If you want a flight physical before you go, then tell him so. He's not worried about you getting hosed for pilot if you turn out to not be qualified physically. I've got to do this myself. Called the recruiters office Friday and still haven't heard anything (I realize they are off on weekends usually, though).
Get it done, man. Don't me mamby-pamby with your future.

Third times a charm
The SNCO at my OSO said they only give flight physicals to seniors so I'll go to OCS without having one, of course I just want to be a Marine, so even if I wasn't physically qualified for SNA than it wouldn't be the end of the world.
Edit: Yeah, sorry, I didn't look where this thread was posted, my bad.

He bowls overhand.
IIRC, all future aviators and NFOs got flight physicals in the first week of OCS at Newport anyway.

Sorry for the stupid question but if I were to do a flight physical before OCS would I have to go down to Pcola to do so or are there regional offices? I would ask my recruiter but I am trying to give him a break from my daily calls.

It doesn't matter what your recruiter "seems to really care" about. Don't let 'em slow you down if you really care about it. DO you care about it? Aight then, go do it! It's that simple.
Looks like you got a buddy to ride over there with too: less bucks to drop on gas... reduced heating costs... company... - sweeter deals may not always be found.
Good luck when you go. Break a leg! ...or, or not..
Really though, hope you pass!

Can somebody confirm this? Though it isn't a deal breaker, this physical will be on my mind until i hear the words "Physically Qualified for SNA"
p.s. I do realize this is Navy, and I am USMC PLC... But we all go to the same people anyways
The Marines do it differently. The only reason I started thinking about getting my flight physical done before OCS is because my Marine PLC buddies were giving me shit about how they had theirs done and "wtf is wrong with you?"
That said...uh...I think they've all finished OCS and are just waiting on TBS. I guess that doesn't answer your question. PM and I can put you in touch with somebody who knows for sure.

Not 100% positive, but I think if you are not qualified at OCS you either redesignate to NFO or something else, or go home. I have the same question about borderlined vision. My astigmatism has tested at -1.5 and -1.00, which is the limit. I have been unable to get any straight answers from anyone because everyone tells me as long as my vision is 20/40 or better, I'm okay. According to the NOMI paper work that's a flat out lie. I've seen people on this forum get to OCS or API and test at -1.25 and be NPQd.
