CODs4ever and PotatoChip,
Thank you for the quick and thoughtful replies. As for the question about hiding anything...not at all. I did have a busted check ride in UPT (mid-phase in T-37s) and I explained that in detail in the questionaires. So that would be the only unsavory item in my apps. No FAA violations or busted checks. The only other thing I can think of is that did let my First Class medical lapse about 2 months ago. Having just moved and being on reserve has made finding an AME a challenge. I finally got ahold of one who has to get back to me with an appointment time.

Once again, thanks for the replies and the sanity check. PotatoChip...good point on the retirement check but it turned out to be a lot less than I thought it was going to be
