TACMED (Tactical Med Down) absolutely happens. I don't know how common it is but I knew of a couple of guys that were in Navy training with me (primary, intermediate/advanced strike) that would mysteriously get sick long enough to slip to a later class. You also had the guy that was doing well during TA-4 carrier quals that would purposely screw up a couple of passes in an attempt to avoid the much dreaded EA-6B assignment. You can bet someone is always out there trying to game the system.
