Army Flight Physical

[braden0924]

The only thing I have left to receive is my flight physical. I had a few things I had to get cleared for and now it's waiting on the flight surgeon at my duty station to do whatever he does before sending it to Rucker. My question is are there any recent applicants that had their flight physical submitted and was told 2-3 month turn around rate? That seems kind of ridiculous. I'm seeing people on here receiving them within 48-72 hours of submission. This is the only thing determining which board I turn my packet in for.

Once mine was submitted to Fort Rucker, they stamped it approved in about a week. Although this was back in early October.

Not trying to be nosey, but did you by chance have any waivers? I don't know if that's what is holding up my physical or what.

No, I didn't have any waivers. I'm pretty sure my flight surgeon submitted it the same day, so I just kept checking for the status online throughout the week.

Yeah I keep checking on the AERO site. They still haven't updated my status since January. It's extremely aggravating.
