so this question goes out to anyone and everyone who may have insight on my particular dilemma. I am applying to OCS out of college and started the process about 4 months ago. I did ok on the ASTB-55 5/4/4 (I would have liked to scored higher in the aviation categories). I have a 3.46 GPA from a "soft" degree (i.e. Human Development :sleep_125) I did well on the PRT, my overall score was outstanding medium. However, when I went through my medical I encounted an unwelcome surprise. I was told I had a heart murmur (which I've come to discover is quite common). They put me through more tests and found out I had a very minor leak in my aorta. (i.e. "aortic regurgitation"). My recruiter couldn't give me much information on the implications such a condition would have on my selection to OCS. I applied for SWO, NFO and PILOT and he told me I would encounter "medical headaches" if I got a prof recom'd for aviation. What does that mean? Although flying would be the most desirable position, I am ok with other jobs. My motivation and drive lies in the desire to be a Naval Officer period. Does anyone know if this medical problem is going to get in the way of me recieving a commission? What can I expect, is there other ways for me to make things happen with my medical situation? Any feedback I get would be great! Thanks
