Gentlemen, a quick question.
Just received word from my recruiter that the documentation I submitted regarding my childhood asthma was acceptable and I am cleared for MEPS. Expected to apply to either Sept or Oct SNA boards. My asthma specialist was able to confirm I currently do not have asthma and have not had symptoms since the magical age 13.
That said...if I am accepted for and complete OCS, it is my understanding from reading the AW forums that the medical review by the flight docs is completed after, not before, OCS and before API. Because the flight docs are known for being much more thorough and demanding than MEPS, what will become of me if I am failed by flight docs but already after receiving my commission as an ensign? Would I be sent home to civilian life or have the opportunity to change communities and continue as a naval officer in something other than aviation?
Thanks in advance.
