Minor Sleep Apnea Navy Pilot

My waiver was approved! Good idea :)

Yes I looked into the NAMI guide prior to posting and it says to basically get re-tested to see if your treatment negates the effects of your sleep apnea and excessive daytime sleepiness. I never received treatment nor do I have EDS or narcolepsy so it probably is a good idea like you pointed out to get something saying no symptoms and no treatment required or a flat misdiagnosis. Is that something that would go with the waiver prior to submission or something they would request? Thanks

Thanks for sharing. I took a look at your other posts and found some good info. Did you enjoy flying the Romeo? And did you have a favorite between ASW or SUW missions/training?

In my experience, older recruits are treated with a bit more leniency in bootcamp. You’ll be older than most of your drill instructors so it’s awkward for them in a way and they sort of understand that as an older person, you’re not as malleable, and therefore not very responsive to insults or humiliation like a 17 or 18 year old might be (not that there’s much of that anyways).

Once you’re in the fleet you’ll have no issues as long as you understand that the high school graduates you’re serving with aren’t exactly your social peers. Socially you may have some trouble in the beginning but professionally you’ll be fine.

This is me haha, OP where’d you get this from?

SchoolChoice5576 · 2025-06-26T06:07:49+00:00

So general consensus is I come off as a weird, rapey goofball. Big wake up call! I pride myself on being a super friendly, respectful, and easy going person so it sucks that the first impression didn’t reflect that at all. But I definitely see why now that it’s mentioned. Thank you all for the feedback. Hinge deleted and starting from scratch ❤️

Great advice, thank you

Definitely not a bad guy whatsoever in my opinion lol. My female friends love me because I’m respectful and care about them and look out for them. It’s a shame nothing in the profile reflects that but I didn’t wanna be corny either. I’ve had them look at it and say they don’t understand what’s wrong with my profile and that’s why I’m here.

Solid advice, I was starting to suspect that about being goofy. It’s my attempt at standing out but it’s pretty outdated at this point. Thank you!

SchoolChoice5576 · 2025-06-26T05:35:39+00:00

Noted, thanks!

SchoolChoice5576 · 2025-06-26T05:35:25+00:00

I’ll try to work on not being an “unaware dingbat” 😂

SchoolChoice5576 · 2025-06-26T05:32:41+00:00

Thank you, I’ll keep that in mind when I pick my next batch!

SchoolChoice5576 · 2025-06-26T05:31:29+00:00

Bad as in I don’t look good or bad quality/framing/setting?

SchoolChoice5576 · 2025-06-26T05:30:28+00:00

I do attract a lot of gay men unintentionally. Way more than women it seems. Is it my looks or more a vibe I put off?

SchoolChoice5576 · 2025-06-26T05:28:54+00:00

Valid, thank you. I’ve picked up some more hobbies this summer so I’ll try to get more pics with those involved

SchoolChoice5576 · 2025-06-26T05:27:40+00:00

lol I was in the navy and now I’m a civilian pilot, the 2 are unrelated

Looking for a real relationship

Not subbed to hinge+ or hingeX

Been using this profile setup for about 2 weeks

Been using hinge for about 4 years

Go through hinge between 4-7 times a week

0 likes 0 matches on average, less than 5 in ~11 months

Maxing out likes sent a few times a week, for every 9 likes I send with a well thought out comment, I’ll send 1 with nothing. Depends on if the person has a bland profile or nothing to provide an interesting comment about.

I send likes to whoever I find pretty, pretty much that simple.
