They also do consulting for a fee.
If your problem was minor enough that you were allowed to stay in the AF in a non-flying capacity, odds are good that you can get an FAA medical. You may have to provide documentation and get evaluation from a specialist (at your own expense).
If you are considering professional flying, get a first class medical. If you jump through all the hoops for a third class but came back later for a first, you may have to repeat the whole process.
