Eh don't let it bother you to much, FAA physical is 3 steps #1 Are you alive? #2 Is your heart beating #3 Are you not crazy? If you pass all these questions you can get an FAA Physical. Military flight physical standards are dumb as shit sometimes. For example I got a disqualifying flight physical from the reserves immediately after applying for the same job I did on Active Duty for something diagnosed years before while on flying status. Sometimes you just have to fight the stupidity.

It wasn't one migraine per say. I had a 3 month period of 4 migraines that were from a different cause which wasn't disqualifying. During that time I had 1 when I woke up. They specifically stated the reason for disqualification was because of the migraine when I awoke in the morning. Which just seems strange to me that it disqualifies me from my Army flight physical.

Well that's good to know. Glad to hear something from someone who's semi been through the same issue as me. Doesn't surprise me one bit there's plenty of stupid with the Army physicals. Just a little nerve racking failing it while waiting on my FAA medical to clear.
I have not...hbu?
Let us know how this work out!

Right here. I did mine with my security POC (KM) in Renton at the FAA building. Couldn't have been easier.

Who is you HR POC? I did my physical and drug test a few days before you, but my medical POC said they have MMPIs scored up to 2/26, and I did mine on 3/2. Heres to hoping the call comes soon!

HR rep: BO. I hope everyone gets The Call soon.
I have BO as well, been done with all of my CIL stuff for over a month. Did you get any email confirmation when you were cleared by chance?

I have never received an unprompted email about clearances. In fact, I have never heard from BO at all. Just the TOL email.
Just got home last night from traveling 2.5 hours for the Aeromedical test, and then another 2 hours beyond that for the drug test.
Had a nice dinner on the way home to mark the end of my contributions to the process. It's been fun, and all in the FAAs hands now.
Good luck to everybody else! I'm glad to hear people are getting class dates.
