Squadron HM applying for SNA/SNFO here to answer questions from my perspective

[Carolina Cruizer]

Currently applying for OCS as an enlisted member of the Navy. I’m a Corpsman (Aviation Medical Technician) at an aviation squadron. I have some unique perspectives on a lot of different facets from the fleet and have worked with people in all places of Naval Aviation. I’ve also attended a school at NAMI to learn to do the job. I am oftentimes more familiar with physical standards than the flight surgeons. I’m willing to answer any questions anyone might have to the best of my ability. Any advice for my own package would likewise by appreciated.

Do you have any experience with choroidal nevus waviers? Im civ so I cant speak to your application process but what are your stats? ASTB and GPA are the most important aspects. There is some really good gouge on this site for the astb.

I personally do not have any experience with that particular waiver, but open up the Aeromedical Reference and waiver guide and perform a control F search for anything closely related. That's what we do to figure out each request. With all waivers the key is to provide any and all supporting medical documentation pertaining to your issue. NAMI will DI anything thats not completely documented and explained. AA is a fine line and as such waivers are case by case. Make a good case for yourself and wish for the best. Nothing is final until you get AA or DQ. If you get DI, see a specialist and submit more documents. I'm completing my capstone for undergrad.

Gpa will be 3.6-3.8 depending
Astb 53 oar 7/7/7 for aptitude

You’ll be fine with those scores. Are you applying through ISPP or traditional OCS? if you’ve got any questions feel free to shoot me your navy email through a DM and i will send all the information I’ve learned putting my package together

Those that are civilians have to get through N3M before being looked at by NAMI and having the NAMI waiver guide come into play.
