No ability to test my vision to the debth of the form.

I have my DODMERB physical which had the eye examination that is to the extent the form asks.

I wouldn't call it a "waste"...it's meeting the requirements so the SG can make a decision on your waiver, which is certainly not guaranteed. How long ago did you have the DODMERB?

I don't have any eye problems so would I need a waiver?

my DODMERB was like a year maybe 2 years ago.

Also, I had a EKG done which the machine said was abnormal. I went and saw the cardiologist and he said it was a normal deviation. He is going to do a stress test and echo on it as an extra step because he knows its for the USAF.

My question is, would I attach all the forms and send the package in directly? Would the doctor who sees the package give me a waiver or what?

The way he explained it, just like bradychardia shows a abnormal EKG so does what ever I have. Its just as harmless and bradychardia and 1 in 6 people have it. So what would I do to get this waived ect?

My mistake, I thought you were doing PRK stuff...so as long as everything is normal, no waiver required. If the stess test and echo are fine there should be no need for a waiver. Bradycardia is seen in trained athletes and may PJ/CCT/CRO/STO etc...it's simply a slow resting heart rate that, if not caused by an abnormality, is normal.

I was under the impression that a DODMERB was to determine if you're medically qualified to enter ROTC, academies, etc...is this a re-evaluation, or are you doing your FCIII?

Either way, the specific question you're answering should not be answered here...I would contact your ROTC commander and route the question through him/her.

Additionally, the CRO selection package states that a USAF class III flight physical is required...meaning it cannot be done by a civilian...so, if you're trying to do the FCIII with a civilian, it won't work.

An explanation of what you're trying to accomplish would help.

Sir,

to clarify,
DODMERB is the evaluation to go on contract with ROTC or the Academy and officially allows us into the military, I guess its the equivalent of MEPS.

I have whats known as a Partial Right Bundle Branch Block in my heart. I need to know if that requires any waiver or not. It is SIGNIFICANTLY different than a Right Bundle Branch Block.

Lastly, In the package 4.2.6 It states attach6/Med eval Std form 88/93, report of medical exam/medical history, indicating medical recommendation for class III flight physical.

So, I went online downloaded the current listing of those forms, and went to my civ doctor. He filled everything in the forms out accept he didn't have the equipment in his office to evaluate my eyes like the forms say. So I didn't know if I should just attack my DODMERB, which shows a civ eye doctor did those tests a little over a year ago. I have no medical insurance so it would save me possibly hundreds of dollars.

It also states:

A complete and approved USAF Flying Class III physical is required prior to assignment for CRO training. Failure to obtain a USAF FCIII physical will remove the candidate from consideration for CRO training, irregardless of selection status.

Yes Sir, you are correct, for assignment for CRO training. I am wondering if that means I need those two forms for Phase I and Phase II, then once completed and accepted ROTC would be willing to send me for a FCIII

You do not need a FC III for phase 1 or even phase 2, but MUST have the FC III to enter the CRO pipeline if you are selected at phase II. ROTC should have an avenue for you to complete the FC III, especially if you're selected for CRO training and the FC III is a requirement for the CRO AFSC.
