just to tell yall how becoming actually "Pilot Qualified" or "Nav Qualified" or "Commission Qualified" works when you're here...
starting your sophomore year, you'll have your eyes tested. acuity, refractive error, depth perception, color vision, etc. If you ask, they'll tell you whether or not they're "PQ." However, there's a TON more to being "PQ" than just eyes.
You have to undergo a full USAF Flying Class 1 physical. During Junior year, you'll have a neuro-psych evaluation (iq test, cognitive test, personality tests). These arent directly related to your medical status, but they're still required. You'll also have a set of chest x-rays, blood work, urine tests, etc. Finally, you'll have the "graduation physical." You'll go in, have a hearing test, EKG, sitting/standing height, weight, read a paragraph to see if you stutter, and they'll go over your medical history (remember those huge forms that said: "have you ever in your life had/broken/been in a hospital/ X?").
This is where the flight doc will flag any areas that may require a waiver, additional tests, additional comments, or are disqualifying. You'll usually know when you come out of that where you sit, if you need any waivers, and what the chances are that you'll really end up "Pilot Qualified".
After all of this is complete (including a dental exam, too), the clinic will send off your medical packet during the fall of your Firstie (senior) year. It takes AETC in texas about a month to review it and send it back. If you need a waiver, they'll look over it or give it to the people that need to look at it, then send it to the clinic. When the clinic gets it back, they upload the status into CAMIS (our cadet info system) and voila, you're either PQ or not. This will be sometime Firstie year, depending on when your packet gets to/from the medical folks in texas.
