Anyone familiar with Japanese Medicals?

AS to the whole low resting heart rate and grip strength: With the Japanese officials, it's not what's healthy or unhealthy, but rather do you fit within the acceptable guidelines.

On another note, does anyone know if the JCAB will accept LASIK? I'm thinking not, but thought I would ask.

I don't think they do but check the HACS website Q & As. I believe the definitive answer is there.

Considering how fussy they are in all the rest, I would think that LASIK surgery is a deal-breaker.

BTW, in Japan it's pronounced Me-ri-cal.

Are you talking about the tonhue-twister or the ball-busting??!!

Or maybe.....both??

if anyone is trying for the JCAB medical you might want to consider talking with a lot of reverse breathing during the process, the Japanese do it. They may accept you as one of their own.

In the old RAF days they used to fire a pistol 6 inches from a cadets ear... the guys who didn't flinch passed the test, the others were sent home. Makes great sense to me :erm:

Seems you'd want the ones who flinched; the rest would be shot dead! :laugh:

Seriously, though: Was that the same war where the British brass sent the troops in wave after wave in front of the German machine guns?

I've taken the JCAB medical in LAX and HNL. The HNL clinic is a lot better, in my opinion. The Nurse is the Doc's wife and the Medical Assistants there are a lot brighter thean the ones in LA, who could care less if you pass or fail your medical. The MA's in LA are typical California girls who sit and gossip while you are trying to do your medical, which is only required for your livelyhood.

The JCAB medical, in itself, isn't so bad. It's the JAL requirements on top that are so astronomical. Yes, they like right-handers over leftys. The eye peripheral vision test is a pain. You may not miss any light flashes. Don't run for a week before you give a urine sample, as it will show traces of blood in the urine if you do. Don't have any abnormally high cholesterol.

Good luck.
