  1. Can you go into a bit more detail? Just had my 1 year post operation and all my medical files say I have no glares or halos. I feel like sometimes I see them while I drive so just want to make sure I won’t get dq’d at my IFS/FC1
  2. How do they check for starbursting/glare/halos after PRK during IFS/FC1?
  3. I took the AFAQT one month ago. I would second what flammable said in buying SAT books and practice the shit outta them. Don’t forget to time yourself as well. If you have any other questions, feel free to shoot me a DM.
  4. Yoooo congrats my man. What did your AFOQT/TBAS score turn out to be?
  5. Ditto what Gatsby said. Use the video as a precursor and then go over the flashcards until you're able to do each problem under 1 second mentally.
  6. youtube.com/watch?v=pFlkY_dreGo this video explains the concept well.
  7. Thank you! Makes me feel a lot better. I’ll be preppared.
  8. Thank you guys for the advice. I’m going to be truthful and not share anything That is not warranted. I hope MEPS or my recruiter won’t DQ me because of this incident.
  9. That’s good advice. The only concern I have is that I filled an insurance claim and I told FAA doctor while I got my FAA 2nd class medical. I’m worried if they check my flight hours for PCSM and look at my insurance, it’s going to pop up. I definitely not lying, the FAA medical examiner is also a USAF surgeon so he was the one that told me technically I can check no on the medical forums.I guess this is a judgment call on my behalf of balancing factual events and morality. Thanks for the advice
  10. Technically I wasn't "hospitalized" or sent to the "Emergency Room" I just stay in a room with an IV bag and left after I woke up. I'm just scared because I told my FAA medical examiner about it and they have a case on file as well as an insurance claim. I don't want them to think I'm lying and get DQ'd that way. Appreciate the advice Duck
  11. Haha definitely, I commute 4 hours a day so I don’t get much sleep. I was just wondering if it’s an automatic DQ when I get sent to MEPs and they see this on my record. My recruiter keeps telling me I have a great chance because of my scores for AD and I don’t want to let him down.
  12. You too my man, good luck. Im not sure if they do. I know for me the pull your civilian flight records so my incident will be cited. I don’t want to lie but I don’t want to get disqualified
  13. Your friend sounds like a stud lol. I just got my AFOQT score back and my recruiter wants to schedule MEPS next.I have yet to fill out the 2708 medical forum yet. I haven’t gotten a interview. Also I’m trying to get a pilot slot for AD through OTS.
  14. This occurred after I submitted my pre-qualification officer worksheet. I haven’t submitted any other medical documentation yet. The thing is it’s on my FAA record and I used my insurance to cover the bills. My recruiter doesn’t know about it yet.
  15. What about the other way around. Does the AF have access to FAA medical records?
  16. I’m a super light weight. Then combination of having only 5 drinks, having barley slept because of the nature of my work and an empty stomach made me pass out. I looked over my medical records and they didn’t do a blood test. I’m freaking out because I’m assembling my package and jsut recived my scores back and they’re competitive for a rated slot. Just hoping this one poor decision doesn’t shut the doors on my dreams.
  17. My coworkers and I were celebrating after a successful month at work. On a empty stomach, I had one to many drinks and got kicked out the club for falling asleep. When my co-workers found me outside sitting down against the wall, they tried to wake me up. I murmured a few words and was unresponsive after that. They ended up calling the ambulance for precautionary reasons and took me to the hospital. I woke up 4 hours later and went home. Now the question is, on my medical/hospital record its states "Acute Intoxication". I wanted to know if that is disqualifying for a USAF Pilot slot? I'm currently assembling my package for the next civilian rated board. -No Medical History -Criminal Record Squeaky Clean (not even a speeding ticket) -I rarely drink (maybe once a month so not an "abuser") -Never done drugs -Just passed my FAA Class 2 Medical w/ this event included
  18. Appreciate the answer. That puts me at ease.
  19. Also, has anyone have experience of getting Lasik/PRK before getting picked up for OTS for a rated slot? I'm currently looking at surgeons that work with the Air force as well as do their own practices on the side. Does choosing certain doctors and getting the procedure done affect your selection chances?
  20. I'm currently assembling my package so I can submit it to the boards for a rated slot after I wrap up my final year in college. I currently DO need Lasik/PRK procedure done to be qualified for a pilot slot. Should I get the operation 6 months before I graduate or is it possible to get into OTS first and then have one of the Air Force doctors conduct the procedure? I been snooping around the web but found outdated information and answers regarding this topic. Best regards, Ryan
  21. Got it, Im going to work hard on all aspects rather than just focusing on one. Thanks for the feed back!
