i have excellent vision 30/20 with both eyes open and would have had 30/20 vision individually but missed two letters on the vision test in each eye and often only 30-20% of people have a face
denver STAR came to the door second time in 6 months. first eval I weighed ONLY 220 so they let me go with no forced meds after 10 days. second eval i spent a month in a locked unit i weighed in at 247 two days before (not fat at all) im 6'3".) symptoms i agree with
  • Social withdrawal: Isolation from friends and family, leading to a lack of social engagement
  • Disorganized thinking: Difficulty organizing thoughts, leading to incoherent speech or trouble following a conversation (because of 4 injections i had at denver health before transfer woke up on the ride to the locked unit the next day, lack of food in the locked unit and copious amount of medication)
i have been off clozapine for about a year now
they gave me a lot of meds during the second eval in there on short term cert (Adavan, howdol, gabapentin and atarax) i have had two shots of howdol so far. the short term cert last for 90days have been out of the locked unit for about 3 days. food was very limited in there and i lost a lot of strength but i can get that back. I want to be Airbourne infantry in the 82nd I have a very long psychiatric history and sever dyslexia. im guessing im going to need a HIMS eval and don't really know how to get one.
sleep disruption was a problem before the first eval but was controlled by doing 100 front sq into press of 135 a day. how ever i have learned to enjoy sleep deprivation and now find it to be relaxing. I have read that the narratives on the psychiatric recods to not matter. all that matters is physical performance and mental resiliency. im 32 so i still have a small amout of time left. I haven't met with the out patient place yet but will be adamant about my long term goal of enlisting in the 82nd. i don't like taking the meds (except for gabapentin which i love to take.)
do you guys have any advice?
 
Fly with a CFI. Make friends with another pilot and fly with them.
 
Schizoaffective is a psychotic disorder, and those are permanently disqualifying per 14CFR67. Also permanently disqualifying for the military. I agree with Salty, fly with a CFI or another pilot.
 
Flying as a pilot is not his thing, Airborne is.

Those guys just have to remember to snap the leash to the cable before running out the back door.

I lived next to an Airborne unit for most of a year, and moved in with them for about 4 months before rotating home.

Wm pretended we were not in their barracks, they pretended that we were not there too. We got along just fine.
