| flight physical is just a more complete physical than the entry one.
The way I understand it just by by passing the entry physical does not
mean that you are able to fly.
If that is incorrect I'm sorry maybe another noter can ad some details.
Loadmaster is a good choice you can make some good money with all the
flight pay.
good luck.

| This has absolutely nothing to do with flight physicals but apros
pos loadmasters; we have a Movements Squadron just down the road
from us. Occasionally we are asked to volunteer as passengers so
"they" can practice their loading/unloading skills. It amounts to
circuits and bumps in Hercies, but it's all in a days work.
I quite enjoy it actually.
I'll go back to sleep now.

| 108.3 | Flight Physicals vs ........ | MSBCS::TARMEY | | Wed Jun 06 1990 16:31 | 25 |
| Caution.......Data is old!!!!!
If I recall correctly, the prime requirement to pass a 'normal'
physical is that one is:
a. capable of walking into the examinining area
b. breathing when the examiner (notice, didn't say Doctor) appears
c. warm
d. capable of walking out of the examining room
A Flight Physical, on the other hand, is a 'real' Physical. Expect
things like:
a. a thorough eye exam
b. a thorough hearing test
c. an EKG
d. an interview/debrief with the Doctor
Remembering the assembly line nature of the Military Medical Community,
it seems to me that an annual flight physical took the at least half a
day.
That's what I remember.

| 108.5 | Turn Your Head When You Cough | AIMHI::P_LANDRY | Analytical Olde Chief | Thu Jun 07 1990 21:42 | 22 |
| Bill forgot to mention one or two other elements of the physicals....
those items that give you something to talk to the troops about when you
get back to the unit.
"turn your head when you cough"
"stand still"
and "Relax, I'm almost through" or "this won't hurt"
I swear that during my last physical the doctor
a. forgot to take off his college ring
b. checked both prostate and tonsils at the same time (from the same
direction)
Flight physicals are actually quite a bit more stringent in the Navy than
the regular or "ground' physicals. Hearing test, eye tests, ekg, etc.
Go for it!

| 108.6 | Difference is criteria | MSDOA::HORTON | | Tue Jun 19 1990 23:09 | 4 |
| The primary difference has to do with "passing" criteria. Flight
physicals are more stringent in areas like vision, hearing, heart
issues,etc. Also, fighter pilots are at an even higher level due to
the G forces which they must absorb.
