New poster, been lurking for a while. Wanting to see if this has happened before.
Son went to AIM this summer. Around first of Sept, received a LOA from USCGA. He finished the requested writtings/letters, went and had physical completed. Letter came back a few days ago and requested he return for the FLALANT test. Seems there was an issue with the little dots test (named after a doctor from Japan, can't spell it, please forgive me).
Question, what has been the success rate for the second testing? Is it if you fail one, you fail both? Does the little dots test show more detail? Any advice here would be great. He is working on getting the second test done soon.
If he does not pass the FLALANT test, is all hope gone for USCGA? Other SA's? I'm tring to get him preped in case the worst happens. It would be a shame if it's a no-go for the USCGA, but what's ment to be will be I guess.
