THE QUESTION OF PERFORMING FLIGHT PHYSICALS AT DEPLOYED PAGE 2 RHDIAAA3932 UNCLAS LOCATIONS HAS AGAIN BEEN RAISED TO HQ TACOPS/SGPA. THE REFERENCED MSG EXTENDS VALIDITY OF FLIGHT PHYSICALS UP TO 60 DAYS AFTER RETURN DATE. THUS NO FLIGHT PHYSICAL EXAMS NEED BE CONDUCTED IN THEATER. 2. FLIGHT PHYSICALS MAY BE CONDUCTED DEPENDING ON LOCAL CONDITIONS AND TIME AVAILABLE; HOWEVER, THESE CANNOT BE CONSIDERED COMPLETE PHYSICALS. NO AUDIOMETRIC CAPABILITY IS PRESENT. AIR TRANSPORTABLE CLINIC TA'S DO NOT INCLUDE VISION TESTING DEVICES, SCALES, EKG MACHINES, OR LABORATORY CAPABILITY. IT WOULD SEEM MOST PRUDENT TO DEFER FLIGHT PHYSICAL EXAMS UNTIL REDEPLOYMENT TO FACILITATE RECORD KEEPING AND PROPER FOLLOWUP OF POTENTIALLY GROUNDING PROBLEMS. 3. PLEASE ADDRESS USCENTAF POLICY IN THIS REGARD AND TRANSMIT APPROPRIATE GUIDANCE. POC IS , HQ TAC/SGPA, DSN . PAGE: 1
