The Doctor is in! Ask a Flight Surgeon!

Yes, what will happen is they will have to sign a release and the records will then be sent to the reviewing doctor and then should be included in the records that are on hand for that person.

It will required to be disclosed as the person will need to sign a paper saying they have not had any other medical issues since their initial medical review or whatever terminology they use.

Failure to disclose prior to OCS could result in a variety of actions down the road which could be a small delay while being cleared up, to being sent home from OCS, the faster the issue is disclosed the quicker it can be resolved.

I have been through this with an applicant, not specifically psych doc, and it resulted in the OCS date being cancelled just a few weeks prior to shipping, the issue was resolved in a few weeks then had to get a new OCS date which took another 6 weeks I believe. If he had disclosed when it happened he would have kept his original date.

So what is the process between disclosure and OCS. And who decides the fate? will they let me go to ocs after disclosing the information for further review at their own medical?

Your records will be sent to NRC's medical arm for review, you could be just cleared, or they could ask for a consult, in which case after that those records are sent up, it is possible your OCS date could be moved depending on how long it takes so you want to move quickly. If they determine it was really not good they could DQ you. If it is bad enough to be DQ better to do it now than sit around waiting at OCS for weeks or months.

Your recruiter should have communicated expectations early on in the process but it’s always good practice to communicate early, especially if things happen to get worse. It doesn’t paint a good picture that an issue has been ongoing for a while and you failed to disclose that to your recruiter early on.
