Hello!

I'll keep things simple:

Is a one-time sleepwalking incident (even if it's been waived by DoDMERB) disqualifying when it comes time to be pilot qualified?

Thanks for any information!
 
I would not disclose that. If it was a one time incident and it was a long time ago, then I think you are fine.
 
How was yours waived by Dodmerb? My son is applying and reported one possible episode of sleepwalking.

What service is he applying to? The Navy is not lenient with sleepwalking because, ya know, walking around unconscious on the high seas is a little different than on dry land.

If the accession program to which he is applying finds him competitive, then they will automatically process him for a waiver. However, it doesn't hurt to stack the deck in your favor. For example, three years ago when I was applying, I saw a sleep specialist doctor who wrote a letter explaining that my one-time sleepwalking incident was not a problem and that it was not likely to occur again. DoDMERB won't ask for these sorts of things, so be your own advocate and send it in yourself.

Good luck!
 
He is applying to all academies, with AFA as his top pick. He should be very competitive.

Is there any other documentation that helped you?
Thank you for your prompt reply.
