About 2 years ago, I was reading a summary by a Air Force senior NCO...over health conditions of people in his organization.

He noted two unusual ‘waivers’...one NCO had oxygen ‘need’. The guy had a tank and was getting an hour a day of ‘fresh-air’. This came after a bout of Covid, and he was convinced of the need. This was described as a problem...if you needed to deploy the guy, or even send him off for 2 weeks of training. Leadership questioned how long this waiver would last and the medical folks could never provide a straight answer.

The second topic was a airman who was waivered with Schizophrenia. The medical response was that he was OK...and under treatment. No one trusted the guy.

I just don’t remember all this stuff in the 1980s/1990s when I was in.

You mean they’re finally getting rid of women on submarines? Pure insanity.
