Got back from there about a month ago. Dress code was as low threat as I've seen it. Mustaches of epic proportions were commonplace... Mixing USAF PT gear with civies was largely ignored. Only incident I witnessed was an E-9 accosting an unsuspecting LT in a flight suit rolling through the chow hall with sunglasses on his head.

Clean configuration would be expected, unless they we're executing the crash landing boldface. Possible?

Starting to figure out what I need to do to get rolling on my waiver. Couple of questions: The diagnosis was UC present in less than 15cm, confined to rectum. 1. I have been perscribed 40mg of Prednisone, tapering over 6 weeks, as well as Lialda. I will continue the Lialda for maintenance if, in fact it produces results. Do I have to wait until I am finished with the Prednisone before waiver submission? 2. Will I have to have another colonoscopy to inspect for remission? 3. How long is the initial waiver good for? 4. Finally, if the disease presented itself while on AD over 30 days, should I expect MEDCON or INCAP until I get back on flying status? I know these are great flight doc questions, but I have to wait until drill weekend to see one. Thanks.

You were not kidding. This waiver guide is very informative. Thank you for the quick reply.

Thread revival. A few questions for the medical bros out there. I am a current and qualified pilot (32 years old) that is about to be diagnosed with colitis. I say "about" because i was referred to a gastroentorologist today after getting my colonoscopy results back. Those results indicated "chronic active colitis with an area of cryptitis" in the rectum. The rest of my colon was normal. I have gathered that I will likely be DNIF until I get this figured out. I'm assuming that I'll likely need a waiver. So: 1. How hard (sts) is the waiver to get? 2. How long (sts) will it take to get? 3. Any suggestions on how to fight this battle? Thanks.
