True that!  I have VA disabilities that totaled 240% when I left the military.  100% of which was for a cancer which occured while in the service.  I had to wait a year post chemotherapy (i.e. "in remission") to apply for my FAA medical.  When I did, I answered all the questions truthfully.  For the first few years (5 i think, but could be wrong), I needed a letter from my VA Dr saying I was still cancer free.  Anyway, the point is I get my FAA 1st or 2nd Class Medical (depending on the job I've have) every year.   I simply answer the question "yes' and put PRNC (previously reported, no change) in the remakes section of the medical form and have never had a problem with the FAA. 


Still 100% P & T with the VA and the FAA knows that.  None of my issues are medically disqualifying for them.  For those of you who want to call ne names, go ahead.  I don't care.  As a recent meme I saw said, that recruiting office was open to everybody.  Oh, and you didn't get shot at or have to leave your families for extended peiords of time, miss birthdays and holidays, or have to deal with any of the other silliness the rest of us did. Say what you want, IMHO we earned everything we're getting.
