  1. Hello, In 2017 I got a pilot slot as an ROTC cadet, went to medical screening and was medically qualified. Later that year, I had a bad sinus infection. My doctor said I might have mild chronic sinitus and recommended sinus surgery. I advised SG of the situation and was DQ'd from all rated duties with mention that I could be evaluated in one year after the surgery and attempt to overturn the DQ. I was reassigned to a different AFSC. I recently commissioned and will EAD in two weeks (although I still don't have my orders haha). I had a CT scan last week that shows I would be good to go as per the AFCENT waiver guide (showing ostea of sinuses to be patent, relieved, etc.) The tech even noted that pre-surgery CT shows minimal inflammation at most, and the operative report comments that all sinuses looked very healthy on the day of surgery. It seems the chronic sinitus was very minor in the first place. Now I just need to find out how to attempt an overturn. I have come to learn that one does not simply call up the AETC SG and ask questions. The one-year post surgery mark is coming up in two months and so far I have not been able to get a clear answer from any AD personnel (Det NCOs) on how to go about being evaluated and pursuing an overturn. It seems nobody has much experience with the process. I have searched various AFIs and could find no reference. Does anyone have experience with this process? Assuming I am medically qualified, it seems that getting through to the right channels might be my LIMFAC here, as I have found no information on it so far. Thank you to anyone who has any experience or advice.
