Physicals after Commissioning

[navalaviator00]

Hello all, just had my 2/c precommissioning physicals. Curious as to, after graduation and entering your community, how often they hold physicals of the same nature, if at all? Thanks.

Present Health Assessment annually. If there's a need, a required "focused" exam on that/those areas. Full exam every 5 years. That does NOT include Special Duty (Aviation, Seal, Underwater, etc.)

For aviation there is annual flight physical requirement that must completed within your birth month. It is fairly comprehensive.

> Back in the day (late 80's), the Annual had a long form and short form .... I think it alternated every year. The long form was comprehensive, and took most of the day -- the short form less so.

It still has a long and a short. Long every five years. Short the rest of the years. Short can be knocked out in an hour or less. Long takes a few different appointments because you have to go to some specialists to get things verified (i.e. optometry for full eye exam). Much fun
