the waiver standards are different for you than someone that is a civilian or for someone that is prior service that did not affiliate with the reserves or is outside their MSO, if you were a civilian with the same issue you may have been told "no".
It has to be the same standard for waivers across the board. What isn't the same is opportunity to pre-screen through a flight physical like Kyle.
@kyleerlich has an advantage in that he has gone through the process and received a waiver from NAMI before even getting to the NAMI waiver board, that's huge. That doesn't mean the waiver criteria/standards are different between USN and civilians, the process and opportunity for AD members is different.
Once (we) civilians make it to OCS, and get to flight school for the physical, NAMI will review personnel under the same criteria as current AD personnel because we ARE currently active duty Navy personnel at the time of the NAMI physical. So technically, Kyle and everyone else will be in the same boat sitting in front of the NAMI physical.
We're all AD Navy officers at that point, and the idea of different standards is ultimately irrelevant because none of us are civilians looking for a waiver. We cannot be held to a different standard at that time even if a difference in standards exists because we've all made it through and become officers and the civilian/enlisted title is gone.
I'm not sure what you mean with the different standards and how that fits into the process or timeline for civilians going through with waivers, because at the time of the NAMI flight physical we aren't civilians with a previous waiver, we're Ensigns in the USN and therefore must be held to active duty USN standards right?
