Everyone thinks that missing this physical is such a big deal and it simply is not. A pilot, any pilot can turn his wings in at anytime, missed physical or simply pissed-off, and he is still in good standing. He just gets reassigned to different duty. He can come back to pilot status anytime he wants to also, he just has to take another flight physical, be observed for HRP (Human Reliability Program) and demostrate his ability to fly.
All this crap about LT Bush missing his flight physical is simply BS!!!!!!!!!!!!
CORRECT..., in fact, if a pilot "feels" that they are not fit to fly, they have an OBLIGATION to ground themselves!!! The overall gross ignorance concerning the military grows everyday as fewer and fewer of our citizens have ANY direct experience with military service!!!
