Folks,
Before this gets too kinky, let me see if I can clarify. If they just have you bend over and they take a look, they're checking for hemorrhoids. If they have you bend over and do the "Moon River" finger poke, that's for prostate health. If they check out your package they're looking for testicular cancer. All of these can strike you at any age, although prostate cancer is almost always later in life. God, I know way too much about this stuff...now you see why I want to leave the medical community. I'd much rather be able to recite SH-60 specifications.

Okay, I saw this a while back on an AF forum I think. The reason they make you drop your pants is because they are checking for decended testicles! Believe it or not, it happens that people are born without their testicles having decended. Many times they decend themselves at the age of a few months, however if they don't it is diqualifying for aviation (don't ask me why)

lol kimphil good one.
stevew, I don't think the "bend-ovah and spread your cheeks" is about descended testicles.
The 3 minutes spent rubbing your nuts looking for testicular cancer probably covers that.
My advice: when the flight surgeon is kneeling down and has your balls between his fingers, slide your hand up onto the back of his head and say "Oh yeah, oh yeah, baby!" while thrusting your hips at him. They love this kind of humor.

EA-6B1,
To answer your question, answer all questions truthfully, honestly, and to the best of your knowledge - but more importantly, answer them as specifically as possible. For instance, I remember a question on the flight physical form that asks about surgeries, major illnesses, or broken bones that you have had in the last 2 or 4 years (I can't remember which time frame) - If you broke your arm five years ago, don't volunteer that information unless they specifically ask for it..
I don't know what your surgery was or what bones you broke - as long as you demonstrate to them that it does not hinder you - that you have full range of motion, etc, you should not have a problem. I had broken my arm six times when I was a kid and broke my left clavicle my third year in college (three years ago) - I also had surgery at 9 mos. and 11 years of age - The flight surgeon passed me.
Something to think about - when you contract with the Marines, you sign a waiver giving them permission to review your medical record - I don't know how that works, but I assume they can find out about your broken bones and surgery. Take my advice with a grain of salt, but being truthful up front seems a lot less painful

When the flight surgeon was testing me for testicular cancer - he was telling me always make sure to wear supportive underwear. Apparently in a high-g environment the blood runs to your balls - and if you aren't wearing supportive underwear your balls will get bigger.
On a side note - avoid the Air Force at all costs when it comes to flight phyisicals - I mentioned this earlier in the thread, but my backside wasn't the same for at least 2 days.

LMAO! That'd be pretty painful when you're landing on the boat wouldn't it?
I mean the flight suit is pretty loose, so your nuts would fly forward pretty hard.
