I am in the BDCP program, which is the Baccalaureate Degree Completion Program. I will be attending OCS in September and API following that. The Navy sent a bunch of us down to Pensacola in December for flight physicals to make sure that we were qualified for the flight program and to let us get a taste of what OCS will be like. My question is since I just had a flight physical and have been found physically qualified for the program, will I have to get another one prior to API? That physical was a pain. It took them two full days to give twelve of us our flight physicals, and we were the only ones in there the first day. Between the waiting and all the tests, especially the eye test.
This is just some advice for anyone who finds that they "Outside the Norm" on their anthro measurements. If the flight surgeon tells you they can't interpret your measurements contact the Public Affairs Officer at the Naval Aviation Schools Command (I believe they are in Bldg. 163 at NAS Pensacola). They interpret them their, and it only takes about ten minutes. I was told that I was to small for something during my physical, but no one knew where to send me, so after 5 months of unreturned phone calls and emails I finally found a PAO at NASC that helped me. I found that I am need a cockpit check to fly the T-44. But I am cleared for every other aircraft in the Navy's inventory.
