Going back and reading it again, there's actually a mistake in their conclusion as they linked me to the wrong diagnosis. Basically, they noted I have Condition A which is a byproduct of something that was suspected in early reports that I submitted but later refuted, and is far more terrible...

It wasn't clear if it was due to the inherent risk associated with the condition or the need for follow-up/monitoring, or a combination of both.

Bad news, got a letter stating I fail the universality of service requirement. Not sure if it's due to the need for follow-up or the nature of the condition, but this is likely a tough one to get past. Time for a call to the med tech =/

All I can offer is anecdotal evidence - I take nexium (similar), and the med tech didn't seem overly concerned by it when we were going through the checklist. I am not through my medicals but that delay is unrelated to the nexium use.

The too spelling misteaks in you're post while critisizing someone for naught spelling good.

I'm just hoping to avoid getting a letter from the RMO saying I'm unfit period, will worry about aircrew factor later. :)

I was told it would take approx 4-6 weeks for the RMO review to be completed after I submit my info. It's likely going to take me longer than 30 days to get my letters, specialists are tricky to get a hold of and I'm already on cancellation lists to try and get in sooner. Family doctor was easy...

Blackadder - thanks kindly for your input and experience. I'll consult my physician and provide the letter/reports and not try too hard to sell it by adding extra info that I think is relevant, because factually, no one cares what I think and you make an extremely good point about trying to tell...

Thanks for the replies. I understand I am not a unique, special nor was I questioning the competency of the folks that review the files or the prescribed medical standards which are there for a good reason. This is a similar question to someone asking about the general application/interview...

Hi all, I had my medical recently for pilot, and there is an item on my history that got the med tech's attention (bad news). Essentially, I have an increased risk of cancer and should see a doctor once a year, however this condition would take 3-5 years of me not being seen by a doc to even...

Great link, thanks. The answer I got today from the RC is that for courses/postings > 6 months, you can get a pmq.

Originally posted here http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/106492.0.html but I think the topic is misleading to my question and didn't get replies. I have an interview on Wednesday and would like to get this sorted out before hand if possible to avoid looking like a guy that is going to more of...

Bumping this rather than starting a new thread. I've read the pilot training can take years to actually get through all of the courses. Are there options to live on/off base with your family (wife + kids) for the duration of the training courses? Some of the courses e.g. 7 months of french...

Thanks

Do you have any flexibility on when you go to CFASC, or are you shooting yourself in the foot if you make this appear to be an inconvenience to "your" schedule? A week off of work is a challenge or borderline impossibility this time of year on short notice. I'm not sure how often CFASC sessions...
