I’m already pursing a degree in Aeronautics and my SGM wants me to try for warrant. I’m 5ft flat so I’m not confident that I’ll pass the military flight physical. Can I get the physical BEFORE I take the SIFT so I know if I’m eligible without all of the extra studying?

I got my first flight physical months before I took the SIFT as I wanted to be sure nothing medically was going to disqualify me. The clinic never asked me anything about SIFT or otherwise, but like SFC Batson said, it may depend on your clinic. Just go down in person and schedule it. They likely won't even mention the SIFT.

I would recommend going to the clinic and attempt to get your physical knocked out. If you are medically disqualified then the SIFT doesn't matter. Some clinics require you do it the other way but it never hurts to see if they will do a physical first. Take this one step at a time and you will be able to get it all done in a timely fashion. If you need any other guidance don't hesitate to ask.

Thank you, I actually tried to connect with you on here to ask a few follow up questions. I’m not sure if you received the message.
