2LT Private RallyPoint Member 5627259 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Does anyone have experience with requiring/receiving a ADHD medical waiver initial flight training in the Army?<br /><br />My situation: currently in OCS, set to commission in August. I just went for my flight physical and was told that my history of ADHD would be an issue. The flight surgeon immediately got me in with a psychologist who determined through interview, slight testing, medical record review, academic review, and professional work history that I outgrew my ADHD sometime in adolescence. However, I do have a period of about 10 months my freshman year of college where I received care from a PCM and took medication. That was over 6 years ago. The flight surgeon says that I now need to go to Walter Reed to have neuropsychological testing done for the waiver. If the psychologist says that I don’t have ADHD anymore, is this other testing necessary for my waiver submission? Also, is Walter Reed the only place that I can go to get this testing done if I do have to get it done? 2020-03-04T10:44:50-05:00 2LT Private RallyPoint Member 5627259

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>AR 40-501 says neurological disorders require waiver. The only time you wouldn’t need a waiver is if it was waived for your entry to service.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Got news for you, you didn&#39;t outgrow it, and the meds you took are still with you.<br />They altered your thought process and that is not a good thing for any branch of service
