I am confused momx2.
CSO is flying, are you saying it was too risky because of seasonal allergies?
I did not realize seasonal allergies were a DQ for rated. Our DS does not have any allergies, but our close friend's DS that commissioned in 12 with DS via USNA got a rated slot; he is allergic to grass. Thus, I just assumed AFROTC would waive it too.
Again, waivers now are not like they were in 2008.
I do know as a wife of a WSO, Afrin is a big time No-No so I can see seasonal allergies being an issue. As a rated officer, Bullet never took anything, but aspirin. No Nyquil, no cough medicine, no benadryl. Allergies could be a huge issue due to the ears.
Good luck to him.
OBTW the reason I asked was some won't take the CSO/ABM because it means they can't get UPT. They are seeing it as too risky to take the chance of getting a scholarship, but not getting their career goal. This was why I was asking....you stated it was too risky. I was wondering if it meant too risky for not getting to be a pilot.
