    Ladies & Gentlemen,

    Good news! I have just heard back from my recruiter and he has said that BUMED/M3M has cleared me for military service. He has said, however, that NAMI may have some more hoops for me to jump through at some point. But for now I have to go through the rigmarole of having my packet put back in the stack for Final Select. For those with the knowledges, what would be the best way to document my ordeal? Should I start a stickied thread or write a blog post?

    Also, I appreciate everyone's help; it's meant so much to me that I simply don't have words. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    Congrats AllAmerican!! I know we have quite a few stickied threads, but that is my personal preference. Maybe there is a reason the webmaster would like to have it in blog form. Me, go with a sticky. It is probably more searchable. Good luck on NAMI.

    Well done!

    Though I know nothing about lies ahead for you with respect to NAMI, I will offer one bit of advice, anyway. Keep every single shred of paperwork (forms, emails, notes, waivers, whatever) you have and have it on you at all times when you are dealing with Medical.

    Congratulations and best of luck to you. Keep us updated.

    Did NAMI ever approve you? I'm on the same boat.

    Is it possible for a commissioned officer to switch from ground to air after working in the MOS field for a few years? I am PQ/NAA (pending) by NAMI due to my traffic violations. The waiver guide states that if the person demonstrates substantial improvement over 2 to 3 year period, then he or she will be eligible for reevaluation for NAA status. Shortly, if I keep my nose clean as a ground officer for a few years and NAMI considers me AA, will I be able to switch to air?

    Thanks

    Why does NAMI care about traffic tickets?

    To answer your question, search for "field ascension board"

    Silver, let's be frank. Based on your other thread, you're not NAA because of traffic tickets, you're NAA because of an undiagnosed psychological issue raised by NOMI which led to you evading the police. Don't sugar coat things (and don't start new threads for what is essentially the same issue). Assuming you work through whatever psychological issues you have, NOMI may or may not clear you as AA. At that point, you can take your chances and apply for a change in MOS, given whatever limitations are placed on you at the time. I don't have experience with how the green side deals with this, but it usually involves you getting your professional quals in whatever MOS you come in as. That will probably take years. Factor that in to your career plans and aspirations.
