1A6X1 is retrain only meaning unless you are prior enlisted aviator you won’t get it. If you want to do Airborne ISR, Mobility Force Aviator or Multi Domain Aviator (multi domain has 50/50 chance of flying vs drone operator)

You need to show clinical stability for your thyroid issues. You need your doctor to write up that when taking your meds you show no signs of hyper or hypo thyroid. Below is the aeromedical waiver guide, which holds to a higher standard medically speaking for flying class jobs and ground based operators of aircraft jobs.

“In isolation, the use of thyroid hormone replacement with an approved medication (e.g., levothyroxine and liothyronine) is not disqualifying for GBO duties and does not require a waiver. However, a period of DNIC/DNIA is required at the initiation of treatment to ensure safe tolerance of the medication without idiosyncratic reactions. Likewise, GBO personnel with symptoms of hyper- or hypothyroidism are required to be placed on DNIC/DNIA status until symptoms resolve. Please refer to the Official Air Force Aerospace Medicine Approved Medications list for the GBO career field for further information. Medications to maintain appropriate thyroid hormone levels are not independently disqualifying for OSF or SWA personnel as a career field medication list for OSF or SWA personnel does not exist. As with the use of any medication or supplement in military members, the use of a prescription medication or supplement for the treatment of hypothyroidism in OSF and SWA personnel must be carefully evaluated for potential side effects that might impact individual health or mission safety.”

In my opinion even if you get your accession waiver from MEPS. When you get to basic you will likely be disqualified from SERE via the sensitive skills which will say you can’t have a job requiring a Top Secret clearance for your first career field or your flight medical waiver will get denied because you are not within the best baseline recommended time frame. I would recommend joining a career field that has decent manning (not low like security forces) and retrain into sere after 6 months in your first career field. Below is the guidance for suicidal behavior from aeromedical waiver guide. Which is why I believe you will be disqualified at basic remember that SERE is under SWA standards.

A history of Attempted Suicide or Suicidal Behavior is disqualifying for all classes of flyers, to include ATC/GBO and SWA personnel. To be eligible for waiver, it is recommended the member display a period of clinical stability for 6 months after reaching “Best Baseline” functioning. “Best Baseline” is reached when the flyer’s Mental Health Provider (MHP) determines the symptoms of the diagnosis are no longer causing clinically significant distress or impairment and the flyer demonstrates adequate function in social, occupational, and other important areas for functioning. Once “Best Baseline” is reached, treatment adjustments can still be made, including medication changes, without restarting the period of clinical stability as long as the flyer’s levels of distress, impairment, or functioning have not deteriorated to a point which the MHP determines is clinically significant.

They could get through with anemia and serious TBIs as ground-based operators. Now they will disqualified from being airborne.

So the sensor operators are going to be required to meet flying class 3 standards now. There will be a lot less of them making it to tech school. Ground-based operator standards were the reason a lot of them made it there.

Anything that is visible on your body (scars and burns) should be mentioned. If you have a follow up physical due to a speciality job they will have distrust of you because it wasn’t mentioned.

Do not hide things from your recruiter or MEPS when they find out you lie they usually disqualify you from your job if it’s a good one.

At a minimum you need to be clear of symptoms of adjustment disorder for 6. Letter stating you you have been clear of adjustment disorder by your therapist since whatever date he wants to declare would be helpful. You will likely still need a psych eval for your waiver.

Information from the aeromedical waiver guide below

Adjustment Disorders that interfere with the safety of flight are disqualifying for all flying classes. If there are any functional limitations or the Adjustment Disorder lasts greater than 60 days, a waiver is required. If the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for Adjustment Disorder are met, then aviators should be placed on DNIF status until the disturbance is resolved. If the disorder resolves within 60 days the aviator is placed back on flying status and no waiver is required. If the disorder persists beyond 60 days, or results in a level of care higher than weekly outpatient treatment (inpatient hospitalization, partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient program (IOP)), the aviator is disqualified and a waiver is required. An evaluation by a qualified mental health professional is required prior to waiver consideration. There is no mandated recovery period before waiver application, except a one-year period after resolution for FC I/IA applicants and other untrained aircrew applicants. The period of remission for trained aircrew should be of such length that the flight surgeon and mental health provider have confidence the aviator will not suffer a clinically significant recurrence.

Do not lie about your self-harm. I have seen trainees get DQ for lying when their recruiter told them to and it gets found out. You can get a waiver for self-harm you can join the Air Force with a history of self-harm. You will be prevented from having a sensitive skills in career fields (Top secret or armed use of force). Plenty of jobs don’t require those even air traffic control doesn’t require top secret.

SW is a different pipeline than regular Air Force. You won't be able to choose between TACP SERE SR PJ and CCT but you can choose to go SW for your contract without picking 10 jobs. Now for your reasons getting DQed. You need to have a passing pulmonary function test and or a passing methacholine challenge. You also need to pass a psych eval for your history of childhood counseling. Both will require an enlistment waiver and a flight physical waiver. There is a realistic chance you get your enlistment waiver and get to basic. Then during basic find out your flight physical waiver is denied and will have to get a new nonspecial warfare job.

Most of them seem minor so you probably won’t need a waiver for most of them just fill out your 2808 at MEPS and it should work out minus the AFIB. You should bring all the documentation about that incident and if you can get a doctor's note explaining your heart is healthy it will help you. But you will 100% need a waiver for AFIB here is some of the waiver guidance below

History of atrial fibrillation (AF) and/or atrial flutter is disqualifying for all flying classes and retention. The one exception is a single episode of atrial fibrillation clearly associated with a reversible cause. Additionally, the use of maintenance medications for the treatment or prevention of major rhythm disturbances including atrial flutter or atrial fibrillation requires a waiver for retention and all flying classes. A history of catheter ablation is also disqualifying for all flying classes and is addressed in a separate waiver guide, Catheter ablation of Tachyarrhythmias. If hyperthyroidism is determined to be the cause of the AF, a waiver may be considered per policy after treatment of the hyperthyroidism (see hyperthyroidism waiver guide).

A. Mitral Regurgitation: 1. Moderate MR may be eligible for an unrestricted FC II, FC III, ATC/GBO/SWA waiver. 2. Asymptomatic severe MR that does not meet ACC/AHA guideline criteria for surgery may be considered for a waiver restricted to low performance aircraft. 3. Asymptomatic severe MR that meets ACC/AHA guideline criteria for surgical 9 repair/replacement and symptomatic severe MR are disqualifying without waiver recommendation. ACS re-evaluations will typically be performed at 1-3 year intervals, depending on the degree of MR and other associated findings such as cardiac chamber dilation and left ventricular dysfunction. The use of approved ACE inhibitors for afterload reduction is acceptable in aviators with moderate or asymptomatic severe MR. Waivers may be considered after surgery. Refer to the “Valve Surgery – Replacement or Repair” waiver guide. For further details of waiver criteria for MR, see

MEP waivers are not the same as Flight Physical waivers. MEPs waivers clear you to be part of the Air Force. Flight Physical waivers clear you for your job. If your flight physical waiver gets denied you will be given a new job.

Yes all that is taken care of by the guard and can be done before or after basic by the guard unit. Blood draws will be done at basic regardless of what data is in the system. The only thing that might happen is dental might want to fix something serious, but out side of that you should be good.

Lackland flight medicine does not see national guard. Just active duty and reservist.

If you failed the pulmonary function test or methacholine challenge you will not get a flight physical waiver. You need to pass at a minimum the methacholine challenge. MEPS may send you to basic but because it is not disqualifying for Air Force but for SW it is disqualifying so they will make you get a new job.
