I’m a military pilot with ~3000 hours in various multi-engine heavies and had the Air Force clear me with no need for additional discussion on the concussion. Is there anything I need to do / watch out for when filling out the 8500-8 on MedExpress? I was going to provide a brief description on the question asking about headaches. Am I in store for a long and painful process?
I'm curious - was this an actual diagnosed concussion - from a medical professional?
