Let me clarify my wording,
Yes, there are limits concerning eye anatomy/shape, but there are no applicant NFO uncorrected vision limits. OP stated his diopter measurements were within limits.

Hope this is the right forum, looking for some advice. I’m currently in last week of OCS as an SNA, no orders and not medically cleared. My stuff was sent to NAMI and then they asked for more info related to my mental health history. Basically, I took Zoloft starting at 13 and then switched SSRIs to lexapro at 15 and then Wellbutrin at 18 and then off meds entirely at 22 (23) now. I’ve had the prescription gone for over a year now, and I was never actually even taking the meds in college, i just didn’t want to change my prescription because i had an FAA special issuance. I have no hospitalizations, a bit of counseling on and off, no self harm or attempts ever. The therapy was something my parents signed me up for when they divorced. I just got all the way through OCS and the flight surgeon never seemed worried, I was really surprised they’re asking more info. Where do I start? Am I likely DQ?

I’m not sure if this is the right forum to ask, but I recently sustained a stress fracture during the last two weeks of OCS. I was still allowed to commission and am scheduled to report to Pensacola as planned.

Do you happen to know what the waiver process looks like once at Pensacola? I’m concerned about whether this injury might disqualify me during the initial medical screening after check-in. I’d really appreciate any insight into what I might expect, as it’s been difficult to find information; especially since it seems uncommon for people to report with an existing stress fracture.
