commissioning physical?

You have to take a commissioning physical within 2 years before you commission, so yes, you will have to do it again. The physicals are different depending on what area you are going into (ie. SWO vs Aviation vs EOD...etc). If for some odd reason you fail this physical, you are not forced to enlist. You would be medically discharged from the progam all together. Dont worry though! If you past the first physical, you should definitely pass the SWO commissioning physical...the others a bit harder.
So what's the difference b/t a SWO commissioning physical and a flight/EOD physical?

SWOs are not mandated to get a commissioning physical. You need to get a physical if you want to go to flight school, nuke, EOD or SEALs.
What if I wanted to be a SWO nuke?

Then you'd be better off failing the physical.

I'm a former sub ELT. I personally have no desire to go back to the nuke field but knew several sub officers who enjoyed their job and intended to make a career out of it. When I went to Op Water Chem school with about a dozen SWO nukes who were qualifying as engineer they all, without exeption, expressed their dislike for their job and their desire to get out at the end of their initial obligation. Maybe this isn't indicitive of the community as a whole but it was my only experience with officers from that community and it made an impression on me. Too each his/her own though.
I can probably say the same about enlisted nukes....so what's your point and what the hell does it have to do with the commissioning physical?

You asked me why I said 'you'd be better off failing the physical' so I answered you. Lighten up.
So wait. You're telling me that I am better off failing the physical based on your experience with a dozen or so SWO nukes who you barely knew?

No I'm telling you I was merely making a joke based on some anecdotal evidence.
So are you answering my question or are you just joking around. Come on now. This isn't the Democratic National Convention. You can't have it both ways.boobcheese said:

I was making a joke that was partially grounded in truth (as most jokes are). Who pissed in your cherrios today anyway. Over and out.
