A friend of mine who's former military is going to work for the DOD in the middle east. He's not a pilot but will be acting as a crew chief and needs to have a 3rd class medical according to his contract.
He admitted to getting a DUI in 2007 (blew a .21!) after he came home from active duty in Iraq and his application for medical was denied (has been clean since then). The feds are saying he needs a phsyciatric evalutaion and also has to take some tests administered by a phsycologist as well as a mountain of other documentation for re-consideration.
He's perfectly willing to do all this but only has 3 weeks before shipping out. (Took the feds forever to get back to him). My question is this: Does anyone know of an appeals process or a way to expedite what he has to do here?
I really apprecitate any helpful information anyone has. This guy is good people and I'd like to help him out any way I can. Thanks for the help!
