That is the problem, there is a process for those on AD/reserve and a process for those that are civilian, the military doc was not correct as he doesn't understand the process for civilians, you get a basic enlistment physical, that info goes to N3M that determines if you are qualified to enter the USN, the flight physical happens after you go to OCS, your OR would be better off sending you to MEPS.
Sir, I'm not sure if you will be able to answer this question, but everyone I've asked hasn't been sure, from my CCC, the Fleet OCS processor to the Flight Surgeon who's doing my physical. I am AD, and I will have a waiver (PRK, broken pinky finger) that has to clear NAMI to be PQ for aviation. That being said, do I need to wait for the waiver to clear to submit my application? The flight doc seemed to think I can submit without the waiver having cleared, as does the Fleet OCS processor. OPNAV 1420.1b offers no further guidance, nor does the fleet checklist - all the instruction stipulates for flight applicants are anthropometric measurements, depth perception, and a "standard physical eye surgery statement." I do not know if this statement is referring to a waiver. Again, I know I will need a waiver before I can begin flight school, this is for OCS application purposes only.
Do you know if I can submit for the upcoming board without a waiver having cleared NAMI, or do I have to have waiver "in hand" to apply to OCS? Thank you in advance for any guidance you might have on this sir.

An N3M letter/medical clearance is required in order to submit your application. To remove any confusion, you don't get a NAMI physical until showing up at OCS. The physical you're getting right now is a commissioning physical for officer programs.
This applies to AD applicants as well? That is the most succinct instruction I've heard regarding medical req's!

Hello, you are going for Pilot! Aerospace all the way!Great scores. My only beef is you chose Materials Engineering over Civil Engineering...

I'm sorry I even mentioned it
. My OR took all of my anthropometric measurements sitting in a chair at my local NRD, not at MEPS.

Well, officially done with school. This board needs to hurry up, because I'm already tired of flight instructing.
Well it couldn't possibly hurt having both right?

You will get one at OCS either way, it is more about the process for specific applicants.
I'm doing both NFO and SWO. My vision isn't even close to being good enough for SNA. I also put in for Intel which will meet in March, but I'm not putting much stock in it after seeing the last selection rate for that. I put three because, like others have said, I want to be a naval officer. There are some jobs I'd like over others, but I want to up my chances of getting in over all.

I put SNA only, I'll add NFO once I get closer to aging out. Kid's gotta dream...

Without materials engineering, you civil engineers would still be building bridges out of rocks and sticks.Great scores. My only beef is you chose Materials Engineering over Civil Engineering...
