Thanks. This puts me at ease. I hope for a better result at OCS.
Good luck to everyone else as well!
What board are you going up for? Or are you already pro-rec'd SNA?

I would say it is more to the lack of time a person is given at MEPS and the lack of sleep, the reason I say this is the number of people that fail at MEPS, pass a civilian test, then fail at OCS is higher then the guys that pass at MEPS, the common factor between MEPS and OCS is lack of sleep. The machines at MEPS are cleaned and calibrated every year.
In box 67-Depth Perception I have a big whopping "PASSED" written in the field. This field does request a score, but I have no score in the box. Just PASSED and something illegible next to passed that looks like a C or O/0.
Does N3M want an accompnaying score with the word PASSED? If so, it would seem that N3M "failed" me for depth perception on a technicality (either illegible score/lack thereof) and thus I spent $100 on an eye exam that I otherwise didn't need. I passed the civilian depth perception test with 25 seconds of arc.
I think you still needed the civilian test. PASSED C just means that you passed through the 3rd row, or row C. I believe you need either a PASSED D or PASSED E to be good for SNA.
MEPS said you passed because you passed the general military requirements, which is all MEPS screens for. N3M said you failed because you did not meet the requirements for SNA on the MEPS machine. Good to see you passed at the civilians.
MEPS is a sausage machine with people who don't care about the applicants and the rest of their lives.
I just asked my doc to write up a letter saying my DP was fine, listing the results of the test (9/9), he put in something like "no defects noted" and signed it, and I just gave that to my recruiter. You should ask your OR if there's anything else that specifically needs to go in there, just to make sure.Sorry to revive an older thread, but what did you get from the civilian eye doctor to give to the Navy? I took a civilian depth perception test and was wondering how I submit this information. Is there a document I need from the Navy or does the eye doctor have something official to submit?

Sleep, too. I was running on a whopping half-hour of sleep when I went to MEPS. That's probably one of the reasons I only got a Pass B. Plus, you really don't wanna spend six hours at MEPS when you're sleep-deprived.I did the same. I believe the recruiter sends it to NAMI. Then you'll do a DP test again at OCS and then again at Nami, and then again every year. My recommendation is to drink plenty of water the day before to keep yourself hydrated and eyes moisturized. Worked for me.

...leading inexorably to the existence of the "Nami whammy," unfortunately.The NRD will send it to N3M, they will make a preliminary "yes" for aviation but will defer to NAMI for final determination (this is those checks you get at OCS and such)
