What records? From what I remember they just ask you stuff about your history, I don't think we had to submit any kind of civilian records. If you used to eat paste in 1st grade and were diagnosed with ADD by some quack I'd keep that shit to yourself.

Try some shellfish and see what happens now. Just be sure to have some benadryl nearby. BTW, how do you remember being four-years old?
Just a little off topic but when the OR asks about drug history and you have only tried marjuiana twice like 7 years ago when you were 16, should you say yes. I don't want that to be a disqualifying remark when it was so long ago and I haven't tried it since. Thank you for your help
Of course the official response has to be "disclose everything." Unofficially I'll tell you there are plenty of successful pilots out there that left out some details like you mentioned above. Yes there are waivers, but if it's between you and a guy who doesn't need a waiver, who are they going to take? I don't see the benefit to disclosing this when no one will find out. I'll probably take some flak for saying that but that's the reality.
On the prescreen form, you're required to list current and past general practitioners and insurance companies. A: Wouldn't they request your pediatritian's records if they notice they can't find history on you from when you were a kid because you omitted it? B: Can they pull comprehensive medical histories from your listed insurance companies?
It's not that hard for those of us who didn't grow up hopped up on Mountain Dew and Xbox.
A: If you omitted it, why would they think there's a history to be found?
B: Not without your permission.
You're setting yourself up for trouble if you willingly fail to disclose material information.

Don't know how it works now but one of the forms I had to sign during the med screening to get into ROTC was basically a blanket authorization for anyone they contacted to give them copies of my records etc.
