falconchic88,


I would also get on that medical dq. Some dqs can be cleared up quickly others can take months and we are now looking at @ 90 days from I day. Can't go to I day and be medically dq.

Not sure who you were talking to about this, our friend is medically qualified, there is no medical dq to worry about, she is basically now just hoping that since she was given an LOA in October, and USAFA admin counselor understands that her MOCs got signals crossed by giving her 2 to USNA and none to AFA, that they want her enough to use a coveted VP nom, as we have no idea if its too late or not to get onto her MOC slate as ramsfan's son was able to do.
 
falconchic,

my bad, I should have put evilramsfan re: the dq.

Sometimes my fingers type faster than I want them too :eek:

The one thing re: the friend, this is why if you want more than 1 SA, it is best IMPO to spread the wealth on the SA list submitted to the MOC. If you put USNA as number 1 for all 3 sources, you can easily find yourself in that position. MOCs don't assume you are applying to every MOC, and they don't assume you didn't spread the wealth when you ranked the SA for the noms.
 
At this point, we are still awaiting the results on USNA, but they do not look good since it is a colorblindness dq (he took the followup FALANT test and failed it). He asked for both initially, but were told to set a priority because they wanted to keep one slot open in case there was a late entry (my son was late in getting his nomination request to the MOC). My son was wanting to go into Mechanical Engineering, so he figured there would be more varieties in opportunities in the Navy than AF for that degree. The MOC told us that if AF asked for it, they would issue the nomination. Once we realized that his chances on a dq from Navy were extremely likely, then we decided to start making some contacts. They reviewed his file and felt he was competitive, so they issued the nomination.
 
What is his career field goal?

If he wants to fly, it will be in your best interest to become pro-active in this situation. This will not be his last DodMERB physical, he will have at least 2 more before he gets to UPT. 1 will be I-Day, and 1 will be for UPT before commissioning.

Keep all of your paperwork, don't get into a lull that now he got a waiver it is all said and done.

The worst part of the military is they are a bureaucracy; left hand rarely knows what the right hand is doing.
 
He has said he is not really interested in flying, but is open to it. His medical came back as "qualified" for AFA and "remedial requested" for NA. I reported the results of his FALANT to his BGO, and even though he didn't say so, I could hear the disappointment on his end. My son was 5/9 on the first run, 8/9 on the second, and 6/9 on the third. 6 of the 8 he missed were same color. I have since talked to a civilian ophthalmologist and he said the fact he missed so many of the same color, it is very likely he is colorblind....he didn't even know it. We are following up with the ophthalmologist who has a test he can run to determine exactly what the extent the colorblindness is. The test determines the abilities of the cones in the retina. We are doing this so he has a full understanding of his abilities and limitations. Thanks for your suggestions and advice.
