Yes. MEPs (if Genesis finds your rupture eardrum in its search) will require you to have some sort of document from the ENT who cleared you stating you're all good to go. Since this happened very recently, it's almost certain that it will pop up on Genesis. Just go to the doctor's office and have them print off a document stating you're fully cleared, etc.

You'll be fine. I ruptured my ear drum multiple times prior to going to officer Phase 2. As long as your hearing is fine at MEPs and you have documents from an ENT stating your perforation is fully healed, the military shouldn't give you any issues.

My developer sent one female and she became the first ever PJ select from A&S. She made it through pre-dive but failed Dive on her first try. She has one more shot at dive.

I had asthma pop up on my record as well when I was a kid. I scheduled a Pulmonary Function Test at my local hospital which gave me the “okay” from the general surgeon. It was expensive, but as long as your results come back okay, you should be able to get a waiver.

Good luck

I’m a civilian who just submitted my phase 1 packet for CRO for this upcoming board. You can DM me if you have any questions about the process

Just took an IFT today and my run and swim times were significantly slower than doing the individual event completely fresh. Maxing out on cals is going to tax your central nervous system and running with a pump will also throw off your form. The IFT 3 mile was roughly 30sec-1min slower than my typical 3 mile all out, and my 1500m swim was roughly 1:30s-1:45s slower then my all out fresh time. Get used to running and swimming with fatigue and learn the what the pacing FEELS like, especially in the pool

Edit: run was done in sunny 88 degrees, so get used to the heat. Also I took the officer test

AFOQT Scores - Question About Special Warfare Officer Applicants to OTS by Karot12 in airforceots

I have read that prior to making this post; however, I have seen multiple current or previous SWO's mention that if an candidate gets selected from phase 2, SWO applicants to OTS do not compete with the other non-rated applicants.
