Doctor's letters are good, but the AF won't care about them unless you take the MCT and pass it. 16 should not be a factor if it was not asthma and just seasonal allergies. You'll still need the test to prove your case though.

Don't give up! I had asthma in my record after the age of 13, got a waiver, and head to UPT in Oct. I had to prove I didn't have asthma and that the doc misdiagnosed me by taking the methacholine challenge test and submitting the results to DoDMERB. Once the waiver was granted to commission it never played a factor again in passing my flying class I or in my selection to UPT. It's in my record, but is just listed as a wiaver. Feel free to PM me with more of your details if you need help.

I'd get with a flight doc and have him do up a new aeromedical summary based on your recent exam at Wilford Hall. It'll then be resubmitted to AETC/SGPS for FCI reconsideration. I just went though this exact process and got an eye waiver that I have been fighting for almost 2 years to get. Don't put all your eggs in the ETP basket without fighting for a waiver or reconsideration first!

I went through the same exact thing and am on AD now. I had an asthma record up to 13 and then nothing after. After praying and begging for 2 yrs I got sent to Wilford Hall for a full pulmonary exam to include the the Methocoline Challenge test. The Good Lord was looking out for me and I passed everything with flying colors. Tell your friend not to give up! The AF is great and well worth all the waiting! A few prayers would definitely help out too! Let me know if I can be of any help.
