A Flight Physical involves a more thorough check of your blood for any allergies or abnormalities, test of your ears to ensure you can equalize them, chest x-ray, EKG, eye exam and depth perception test, and a hands-on physical exam by a flight surgeon. You'll take an initial during bootcamp, and a recert upon arriving in Pensacola... then you'll be required to get an annual during your birth month. If you have a medical issue that comes up, you can submit a waiver if it's waiverable... otherwise you'll have to reclassify to a rating that doesn't require being in a flight status.
