What is the AME like?

[calberto]

I'm applying for the Marine Corps and everything is going pretty well so far. I got through MEPS and the ASTB fine. I have the AME down in Pensacola at the end of the month.

• Will there be a bunch of other people there with me like at MEPS?
• What kind of medical testing is done? (I know that there is more emphasis on eyesight, but I'm curious about everything else)
• If I get a limitation and can't be a pilot like I want to be, what can I do?
• Do you have any advice going in?

All of these questions your OSO can answer.
