Hey everybody!
I'm a pilot select who's hopefully looking at June 26th for his OTS class.
Finally, 10 months after selection , I've got my flight physical back from Wright-Patt. When I went in January, it was a single day: getting my eyes check out, teeth, hearing, all the fun stuff. Later, I was told there would be second part that I would return for. My recruiter wasn't very detailed but he told me it would be some cognitive tests at the building across the parking lot from the Flight Med Clinic.
Fast forward to last week, I get that initial physical returned and am immediately told that I'm good to go for my June 26th class. When I voiced concerns about not completing the second physical, my recruiter emails me:
While I'm told it should be coming soon, I haven't received a class letter and I haven't been able to get a hold of my selection officer (who's retiring soon.) I have nothing in writing other than what my recruiter has told me. I don't feel comfortable enough to give notice to my current job. I feel like I'm going to be flagged as ineligible without this second physical and I'm going to get my class date pushed back months.
It's less than 8 weeks to the class start and I still don't have an answer. Two years in this program so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Can anyone advise on this?
