Thank you.

How long can one expect to wait for a medical waiver to be reviewed/approved once the good folks at WrightPatt send it off to AETC? 

 

Forgive me if this has been asked many times. Thank you for your help.

[Am I going to pass FC1? - Asthma]

Hello all,

I was recently picked up ANG and haven’t been able to consult with the base Flight Surgeon yet to discuss my waver chances. 

My dependent Tri-Care Medical Record show a 4 year history of Asthma, classified “Mild to Intermittent”. I was on albuterol and Advair. I stopped taking medication at age 11 years and 7 months. Haven’t taken asthma medication since. 

Fast Forward to age 19 ( after realizing my dream to kick ISIS ass via sky), I wanted to be prepared for the upcoming asthma waver challenge. I scheduled a pulmonologist visit and PASSED a MCT, indicating no longer handicapped via asthma. 

1. Going forward what are my chances to get a waver, pass FC1, and go to UPT?

2. Will I have to pass another MCT at FC1? Or additional paperwork, test, etc... 

3. Any advice regarding how to deal with this? 

I super appreciate the in-site and truth. I’m very happy I’ve found this resource (BaseOps) and I plan on contributing once I can offer truth from experience. Thank you!
