I know ultimately I will not know until I get there, but curious if anyone has gone through/heard of someone go through a similar thing? Is it likely once I get to that point I’ll have to redesignate?

Thanks!

I know a couple of people with scoliosis waivers. There’s multiple sections on it in the NAMI waiver guide with specific numbers depending on which part of the spine you’re out of limits for.

If you fit the description needed/range, the waiver will be granted.
 
Hello, I got selected for an SNA slot and I am scheduled to go to OCS later this year. I am little concerned about the NAMI physical when I get to OCS because I think I was diagnosed with asthma when I was a child. I don’t believe I had asthma because I was out of shape as a kid and I never experienced any symptoms after eleven. I plan on calling the doctor’s office tomorrow to obtain my medical records. I was wondering before I go to OCS, should I get a Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) done? I know I will probably have to do a PFT at OCS, but I was wondering if I did one before I went will that speed up the process for any potential waivers I might need?


Thank you in advance.
