Brian101193 Posted November 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 That's great news Brian!! Anyone from the New England? Where did you do your physical? Thanks man, just another thing to cross off the list. I don't live up there anymore but I got mine done at Fort Drum (upstate NY) and the wait time was only like 2-3 weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmurray Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Two to three weeks turn around from Rucker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian101193 Posted November 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 9 days for me, but I probably had the easiest flight physical in the world too review. No waivers, allergies, 20/20 vision and I've never broken a bone or been to the ER. Edit: it could have been shorter than that, it was the first time I called. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmurray Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Awesome. I'm pretty similar to you. Never broken any bones, no allergies, 20/20 vision. Had my share of trips to the ER but nothing ever really serious. I'll be trying to do mine at Fort Bliss when I'm there next month. We will see!! My goal is the March deadline for the May board. I'd love to shoot for the January deadline but I won't even be back in the states till mid December. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian101193 Posted November 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Does anyone know 100% what the deadline for civilians is when it comes to the boards? I was told the deadline on USAREC is only for active members and that civilians can submit their packets up until a few weeks before the board convenes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is true, I might be better off than I though! I'd love to get a better answer. Which board are you shooting for, Brian? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmurray Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 10 days before the board convenes(straight from the guy who QC's packets) That is fantastic. Thanks StockTrader! Looks like I will make the March board after all. I just had my dental portion done today. I've got it signed acceptable with class II. Anyone have any issues with class II? I know typically it doesn't count against you. Is the there any difference with the flight program? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told the deadline on USAREC is only for active members and that civilians can submit their packets up until a few weeks before the board convenes. USAREC is for everyone. It is the US Army RECruiting Board. It is the paper board all our packets go to from our respective battalions. The next USAREC Board is January 11th -15th. Deadline for the board is the 1st of January, I believe. Battalion Boards are going to be different for each battalion. Hope that helps a bit. Your recruiter should have a Memorandum from your battalion regarding WOFT dates and deadlines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the there any difference with the flight program? I'll either be January or March, just depends on when I take my battalion board interview. I was also Class II on the dental and like I said I got the stamp from Rucker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Class II basically just means you need a cleaning/checkup done 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian101193 Posted November 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 So you'll make January? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmurray Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 That's fantastic! I did most of my vision yesterday. They don't have the machines to do the retinal topography in theater so I'll have to wait til I redeploy for that. I'm going for my labs tomorrow and then the final phase next week. I hope you make January. I won't be ready until March. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam013 Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 Greetings all, This is my first post but have been following threads for a while. Lots of great info and advice on here.Anyways, I have been putting my packet together for a couple months now and my next step is my flight physical. Im scheduled for dec. 2nd and am shooting for the december battalion board and january USAREC board. Im wondering what the typical process is when you go through the flight physical and how long it usually takes for Rucker to approve it.

I hope you make January. I won't be ready until March. Good luck! I'm going for January the only variable being that Rucker processes my flight phys in time. I will call Monday to at least verify they have it. Murray, you're chipping away at it man. I'm sure I'll end up running into you at Rucker. I most likely have to do the 6 week WOCS since I don't have any military leadership courses and I was only an E-4 getting out of the Marines. You'll probably do the 4 week course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOCS will be 4 weeks for me, which is nice. This physical is definitely taking time. You know what they say though, slow progress is still progress. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmurray Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Finally have part 2 scheduled for Saturday. Because of my location they will be submitting the physical without the HIV results or the corneal topography. The HIV test results take about a month to process here and I cannot do the corneal topography in theater. The medical personnel told me they will submit the results when they come back. I will have to submit my corneal topography results to a flight surgeon, who will submit it to Fort Rucker. Does anyone have any experience with submitting different parts of the physical? How is Rucker at tracking single items like that? I hope it does not delay my approval too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
