This morning, I got a call from my OSS, and was told (finally) that I was DQ'd from a Flight Contract, because of sleep apnea, apparently. I found out about the DQ in September, but they didn't know what the reasoning was until today.
The thing is, I don't have sleep apnea, a history of it, trouble sleeping, or anything. I don't even snore anymore! I did have some sleeping issues over the summer of 2007, because of my greatly hypertrophied tonsils (which got me dropped from OCC-195), but since they were removed at Bethesda, I have no issues whatsoever.
My question is, how do I go about proving that I don't have it, in order to get a waiver in time for OCC-201? Also, it would be helpful to know what I could have said during my flightphys to make them think I did have it. I know for a fact that the phrase sleep apnea never would have exited my mouth, because, until today, I never even considered it, nor did I know much about it at all!
I have been in contact with Sewell's Point, and will be talking with an HM3 there tommorrow, and have also contacted the Georgetown University Sleep Center (its the closest one to me) and they told me a polysomnograghy would cost $3,000, and I don't have any insurance right now, as an unemployed Candidate who has graduated college.
TIA for the help.
