I was not eligible for a waiver for the ONE diagnosis of childhood asthma after age 12 that I had when I was medically bounced from AFROTC prior to Field Training in college, nor was I eligible for a waiver for ocular hypertension when I was medically disqualified for all Rated specialties at Brooks when I already had a Pilot slot and a UPT date from my ANG unit.
