This Soldier (Private) has serious heart problems who wants to go warrant officer. Our Unit has recently been sending her to fields and ranges both of which she had been sent to the emergency room straight afterwards. Her profile is strict as it is and she can't wear any equipment. The soldier doesn't want to risk a no fields nor ranges profile in order to become warrant officer. This Soldier (Specialist) became worried as this recent field, her soldier hasn't responded to her yet. She has not been given any information on her status from the COC. The unit knows about her medical issues and has copies of her profile. This Soldier (Specialist had recently reported our 1SG for a sensitive topic. She believes that he is using her soldier against her. How should I advice?

If she’s been to the ER for her heart condition twice, it is only a matter of time till she is med boarded. A heart condition isn’t like back pain where you can tough through it and hide it. It’s either bad enough to to affect your performance or it’s not. When it is, that’s when you get medically separated

Sounds like she is not far from being medically chaptered IMHO. I would not advice this soldier to consider WOCS if she cannot clear their medical issue.

Serious heart problems? strict profile? WOCS isn't going to touch that one with a ten foot pole. As far as the SPC is concerned, DOCUMENT EVERYTHING. Send emails, texts, anything that can produce a paper trail of evidence that she is doing her due diligence with regards to this soldier.
