I was hoping that you could answer a pretty significant question for me? I've got a NFO slot in the June02 OCS class, but I have a question. I pased my MEPS exam, but I did have to get a waiver because I broke my finger about a year ago and I don't have complete function of it. I can't close my hand into a fist 100%... do you think that this will DQ me from an NFO slot?

Thomas-
Have you gone or are you going to ACES? If not, I'd suggest you do that cause that way you can have your flight physical done and get your clearance before you have to go through poopie week. Three guys in my class were NPQ'd during poopie week and they didn't do ACES and that cost them three weeks and a haircut. If you fear it might be a problem, insist on being sent to ACES. They will poke and prod you, and they will find any problems you might have during your flight physical. Not to sound negative, but ACES is a better way of finding it out than poopie week.
No offense to you all, but only SNAs go to ACES. I am SURE that it would be much better if SNAs AND SNFOs could go, but to the best of my knowledge, and I have spoken to ALOT of people on here, it is only for SNAs.
Sincerely,
Paul
P.S.- However, it wouldn't hurt to maybe go see your family docter, and get his/her opinion.
