Medical Clearance Question
Hi. I very rarely post on here, but I have a question and am hoping that some of you ladies could provide some insight based on your experience. We have orders for Lakenheath and will be leaving sometime in August. I'm sort of kind of worried about the medical clearance. I know each base is different in what they will deny based on their medical facilities and what they can handle. I have PCOS and food allergies, so I'm worried we might get denied. I know both of those are fairly common issues and are easily treated, but do you know of anyone that has been denied for them? I also realize nobody on here can give me a definitive yes or no answer. Just kind of looking for past experiences and peace of mind. DH has been in the AF for 8 yrs, but this is our first overseas assignment...just kind of nervous. Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
Re: Medical Clearance Question
No worries, you should be fine with those health issues. It's more of a concern if you have a serious chronic illness like Chron's disease, cancer, or for example a child with a trach/ventilator.
