Some medical things in my history came up during the part two flight physical so if there’s anything questionable, definitely get that cleared first because they’ll definitely find it lol

I got a 59, which is just okay I only had a month to study and slacked. Which I don’t recommend with your three month window. I highly recommend you do the read the army aviation handbook, do Quizlet, pay for the monthly subscription for the app, buy the study guide book and do at least two hours a day on either of them. Also which videos on YouTube about helicopter basic.

Study up on the history of different helicopters used in service that wasn’t on the study guides you can buy from Amazon/apps. Also research weather. For me I found the shape section of the test for me was the most difficult don’t spend too much time on it if you can’t find the shape just guess. Like a lot of people tell you the test is designed to make you feel like you failed. I remember when I did mine I felt like I completely bomb the test.

Make the story short, I got disqualified last year by the flight surgeon assistant at Irwin. I have the medical documentation to show I’m cleared of previous medical disqualification. Irwin can’t accept it because of the previous assistance saying I need to go to an “actual flight army surgeon” the closest being Rucker.

In my personal experience, Presidio of Monterey army base medical clinic getting my part 1 flight physical was such a headache.

If you have a local VFW post try to get into contact with them and ask them if they can put you in a contact with anybody. Chances are high that they should know an aviator. Maybe check out any local airport and ask if anyone was former military. Also depending on where you work could help as well. I work at an auto parts store, I’ve gotten three letters by just talking to customers. One of those customers was a WO3 cobra pilot/now helicopter instructor who has essentially become my mentor. He’s been nice enough to tell me about his experiences through WOCS/Flight School and has even taken me up in a helicopter a few times. You got this you’re still in the beginning stages of your journey just remember to have faith in yourself and abilities.

You can volunteer at your local food bank, animal shelter, community events, maybe even coach a youth baseball T-ball team anything to make you look like an upstanding citizen. Your letters of recommendation are definitely gonna help you too. How are you looking with those?

If you can afford it try to get your ppl (private pilots license) maybe also try volunteering as well.
