Does anyone have any experience with this drug and flight status? My son took three doses to prevent malaria in prep for Rwandan volunteer med service and it made him quite ill with the side effects. He's a May '08 ROTC grad, slated for UPT in late FY09. Once he discloses he's had a neg reaction to this drug, this can become a potential mine field if the AF is anything like the Army in gleefully grounding you if they can. Will it take med board clearance to get him an up slip or can the flight surgeon bless him as being fit to fly as long as he's fully recovered from the effects? He's wondering whether to proactively disclose now to get the paperwork flow started or wait until he shows up for UPT and then disclose it as a historical event that he's now fully over. Thoughts?
