Talked with our orders guy and an he confirmed this is well, he says we just put them on orders and the whole thing is done down there at Brooks. Oh well, I wouldn't complain about a few days down in San Antonio! Just go out drinking the night AFTER not before your physical...
The role of Brooks as they see it is to ELIMINATE candidates - especially the ophthalmology dept. That's why they pay the money to get everyone through there. Back when the candidates got an FC-1, then went to Brooks - the ophthalmology dept was able to eliminate an additional 10%-20% of those who had PASSED the FC-1 at the outbase! No free trip to San Antonio is worth that.
