Medical Condition

[Raptor2216]

I have a condition that screws with my noce year around and causes congestion. For one thing, this is not because of allergies. There is a procedure avilable that permanently cures this disorder and takes about 4 miniutes to perform. How can I find out if this is acceptable for addmission into flight training? Please help me out.

Go to www.nomi.navy.mil. Either send an e-mail, or find a phone number and call them. You probably need to talk to someone who knows about Ear/Nose/Throat related waivers.

I have occasional sniffs and snot, and some would call it allergies. I've been prescribed Allegra from my doctor to use whenever I want to. I also have had two broken bones. Also, I was told I had a kidney stone when I was a senior in high school. Never found the stone, but my manhood sure did hurt if you know what I mean. My question is, will this hurt my application process? Will the men on the board think that I'll have a kidney stone every day along with a runny nose? Sure hope not. I wanted to ask you guys before I ask an OSO. Be honest. Thanks.

If you don't have to tell them about it when you take your physcical, then don't. Just my opinion.
Sometimes it's easier to get forgiveness, than it is to get permission!

If its not a major issue that would cause a safety problem, then I wouldnt volunteer any information that is not asked for. I'm not saying to lie. I'm just saying there are ways to answer certain questions. Example: Have you ever been knocked out before. Answer: Not that I recall.

I mean if you are not directly asked, then dont give them any reason to NPQ you. Just my two cents.
