During my flight physical this summer over at Wright-Patterson AFB, they found a discrepancy in my eyes. My eyes have an abnormal corneal typography that is linked to a disease called Keratoconus.
I just got news yesterday that because of it, I'm medically disqualified not only from Flight Class I, but from commissioning as well. Our new detachment commander of about a month is giving me 3 weeks to pursue a medical disqualification rebuttal before she begins the dis-enrollment process. The rebuttal would entail proving the diagnosis wrong per the guidelines of chapter 5 in AFROTCI 36-2011.
I fear other doctors will seem to agree with the doctors at Wright-Patterson, and my commander is not considering an Exception to Policy request (per AFROTCI 36-2011) for not having known me long enough.
Does anyone have any great ideas? Or does anyone know where I can find a waiver guide pertaining to general military service/enlistment/commissioning ?
