Thanks for the info guys. I think I'm going to try and apply to a guard base near me. I was also told by someone it's all on the needs of the AF so more waivers if less pilots, and less waivers if too many. I can only assume a lot of guys who were active duty want to still be a part of the AF and switch to reserve or guard, means less slots for off the streeters like myself. I also was a little shocked that the unit who selected me, couldn't help out more. I'm not exactly sure of the actual reach of the individual units when it comes to medical issues. But I'm only 22 so I guess I'll keep trying to appeal their decision. Also @deaddebate, thanks for the insight. I definitely have a few more questions that I will PM you. Thanks!

Hello everyone, So recently I was selected by a AF reserve unit as a candidate for their upcoming pilot board. After a few months of talking to a recruiter I took the MEPS physical. I was told I passed by my recruiter and the MEPS doctors, and that he would go ahead and start the process with getting my FC1 scheduled. About a month later my recruiter called me and told me that the AF surgeon generals office disqualified me from even taking the FC1 due to my hearing being out of H1 limits at the 6000hz frequency in my left ear. Besides that I have no medical issues and my vision is 20/40 in both eyes. I just can't believe that I would be denied from even taking the physical. Here are my hearing results: Freq. 500 1k 2k 3k 4k 6k Left. 10. 20. 25. 25 30 50 Right. 10 5. 10. 5. 15. 10 I know that it's asymmetric hearing loss at the 6k hertz level, but once you pass OTS they don't even test on that frequency anymore and you can be dropped to a H2 profile. If there is anyone with any advice on where I can go from here it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
