So if you have a first class mil medical, which is a box that you can check, then get your FAA 1st class so that you can apply, then publish, and that makes you a liar?

What I’m saying is, who cares what the date of your medical is. Check the box, apply, and if they ever ask about the date (which they never will) you can always say I got it on the date listed on the certificate because it’s not a once in a lifetime thing. You can literally get a medical every day of your life if you chose to. Hell, all the regional guys who applied, have probably had to get another one because they’ve been waiting so long to be called.

Yeah, thats what I figured. Earlier responses to the OP were making me think otherwise. :confused:

The guys telling you otherwise are prob not wanting you to put your app in and give them more competition!!!

Generally the military gives you one first class medical before ROTC/Academy and another just before going into UPT (or for some of us UNT :mad:) and just class two thereafter. But even so, they aren’t FAA first class exams. I don’t think most military flight surgeons can do anything higher than an FAA class two.

Almost sure a military physical can be used as a Class 3 only for the FAA.

Nope. Most military flight surgeons offices (at least in the USAF) can and will give you a simultaneous FAA Class 3, but unless they actually sent their techs and docs off for a little FAA training, they weren’t allowed to do higher classes of FAA physicals. At least not when I was in. At one point in the distant past they apparently had had carte blanche, but a number of offices were apparently sloppy about the paperwork and that gentleman’s agreement went away.

:confused::confused: I’m confused...you’re saying the same thing as him but started with a “nope”. Bottom line, AF physical doesn’t count as a first class.
