thread revival. Anyone have current experience on back problems? I am an AFRES AGR, herniated 2 disks 4 years ago, due to mix of unique circumstances no one ever cared about it. Now my back hurts again and I got a referral for new images, but am hesitant about the situation for going long term DNIF. 1. Can you just let a referral for something like this lapse if I say I feel better? 2. The newer 48-123 doesn't have the medical disqualifying descriptions like the old one did. If the herniation is re-documented but I feel fine, does it matter? 3. Pretty sure I will never choose surgery regardless of the situation, so without surgery is the condition still DNIFing? Lot's of it depends, but anyone got advice?

i did some searching, but my abilities are not as good as i'd hoped. so this looks like the best place to ask a question. i just caught a 180 to tampastan for a air ops staff officer gig. as i understand it that means i could be filling a number of different positions, as the info slowly trickles in does any one have some recent experience down there? living arrangements, work schedules, etc.
