Reviving this thread again. I was just picked up ANG for a rated spot. I had to fill out a 2807 for the application and i gave them pretty much my entire medical history, and they still hired me. I had a depression episode May of 2018 that culminated in 5 day psych ward stay (High school/Juvenile) and 6 months of Lexapro. I did therapy monthly for a year, and was released. Following that, I obtained my FAA class 3 medical, having to enroll in the HIMS (Human Intervention and Motivational Study) program for a special issuance medical. Met with a HIMS/AME and an aviation psychiatrist starting in 2020, and meeting with a local LMFT for "monitoring" through the HIMS program. In August of 2025 I was cleared Medically to hold my second class medical with no special issuance, and was discharged from the HIMS program. Furthermore, I have been enlisted in the ANG since 2021, requiring a waiver upon entry. I am currently working with my unit to schedule an FC1, and I was wondering if there was anybody on here that had a similar story or a flight doc that would have some insight on the likelihood of obtaining a waiver, or if I will need a waiver since I have so many medical records documenting my case. And if I do need a waiver, what can I do to be most prepared and have the best chance of approval. Thank you in advance.
