Ok, thank you for the help.

No problem. I did this myself so there were no surprises.
Civilian doc told me I had a pretty moderate astigmatism and then NAMI concurred. I'm still well within NAMI standards so I wear the dork glasses in the plane and its nbd.

Most of the DQs were for things like thin lenses and eye pockets that most people could live their entire lives without knowing.
.....Highlight was we had a guy who discovered he was going blind in 6 months..... at his flight physical.

Like you said, I guess I will have to see an eye doctor to see if I'm within NAMI standards then.
 
Hello I have a couple questions.
1. The drug test you initially take at ocs, is it just a basic pee test? Just curious if they look for shrooms? Asking for friend.
2. Has anyone ever seen a sna dq’d due to a cleft lip/palate?

If you’re still doing shrooms this “friend” probably shouldn’t be affiliating themselves with the military.

For your “friend”, yes, allegedly it is the basic test so shrooms should not appear. (However, fuck around and get caught. Be clean 90 days prior. Dude a class behind me was booted 6 weeks in due to drugs)

Check the NAMI waiver guide. My gut says no due to the standard “face shape” needed for O2 masks. If it’s super super minor, maybe. Navy would probably give the waiver, NAMI probs won’t

Throughly checked nami medical standards and waiver guide and the only mention of anything remotely similar to this medical situation was at the end of the waiver guide under “cosmetic surgeries not requiring a waiver so long as it doesn’t interfere with face mask and other equipment.” Under that, “repair of soft or hard palate open approach” was listed.

So I’d like to assume I’d be ok as everything was repaired as a baby and I’ve not had any resulting issues. But nami of course has final say.

I misunderstood.
I'm no doc, but in that case, it should be fine. As long as the condition is "resolved with no chance of repeats", I don't see why there'd be any issue. You might need a waiver but hopefully it will be NBD.

Hopefully! A whole class getting booted for drugs, you think weed came up in their lab tests? And it taking 6 weeks I assume that must be standard since it must hit the lab first?

It was only a single person not a whole class.
I can't remember the exact time frame, and I don't think they tell you what drug they find.
Just:
drug ✅ = your career in the government ❌

Its honestly a pretty easy test if you just don't do drugs in the first place.

Of course. My friend was simply curious.

I think he meant a singular guy from the class not the whole class because that would be crazy for a whole class to get marked.
