This is my first post. I've been perusing for a while and have learned quite a bit from the discussions. I just found out I'm going to OCS 03April2004, selected for SNA. I just wanted to share my experience concerning medical waivers for asthma, so... I was diagnosed with exercise induced asthma as a youngster. I played soccer year round for most of my life and run road races on the side. After taking the methacholine challenge test and 'passing', I was told at MEPS that for exercise induced asthma I needed to take the test on a treadmill. Instead of retaking the test, I gave the Dr. in Tennessee a statement of my physical abilities and activities and got the waiver. I know the subject has been discussed before, just wondering if anyone has had any experience with it lately. Anyone else gonna be at OCS in April?
Thanks to everyone who has helped by contributing their experiences on this site.

Right on! I'm looking forward to it. I'll be studying from now until then, just to make life easier when I get there. How have you been preparing?
