date of the first scheduled increment of training by more than 20
months. The initial entry physical examination Health Record (HR)
will be included inside the application.
b. Interprogram Transfer. In order to transfer from any program
to an aviation program, an aviation physical is required to determine
the applicant’s physical status. Since physical standards for
aviation are more rigid, a physical to transfer from an aviation
program to a nonaviation program is not required.
c. Retention. Retention physicals are required on those PLC’s
whose physical status changes while enrolled in the PLC Program. The
injury may have occurred during senior training or while at home. In
cases where the injury occurred at training the OSO will be directed
to forward a physical examination to determine the candidate’s fitness
for retention in an officer candidate program. If the injury does not
occur at Officer Candidates School, it is the OSO’s responsibility to
accomplish the physical examination and forward it to the CMC.
d. Commissioning
(1) A current physical examination is required prior to an
applicant being appointed to commissioned grade. In all cases, the
date of examination must not precede the date of commissioning of the
applicant by more than 20 months for ground, or 18 months for aviation.
(2) All aviation applicants shall be counseled that their physical
fitness for aviation training will be established at the Naval
Aerospace Medical Institute (NAMI), Pensacola, Florida. Even though
the applicant has passed all previous flight physicals, the physical
at NAMI will be the final determinant for findings of fitness for
aviation training. Should a student naval aviator fail to pass the
physical at NAMI, the officer is still obligated to serve on EAD in a
commissioned status for a period of 42 months from the date initially
assigned to EAD as a commissioned officer. Figure 2-41 lists those
facilities where the Commander, Naval Aerospace Medical Institute
(NAMI) recommends applicants take their flight physicals. Those
facilities have been inspected and certified for their reliability.
e. Promotion. A current physical examination is required on all
members of; the PLC Law Program who are eligible for promotion to
first lieutenant. The physical should be administered at such time to
allow it to reach the CMC (MRRO-2) not later than 60 days prior to
expected date of promotion. The physical should be accompanied by a
request for promotion from the OSO.
