The MFS @ Brooks is NOT an FC1
I was there back in early June for my Military Flight Screening. Contrary to popular belief, it's not anything near as complicated as the Flying Class 1.
You'll arrive around 0730 or so (whatever the official time to arrive is), get briefed, and start with the anthropometrics. This consistss of your *official* standing and sitting height. No pressure here, since there's absolutely nothing you can do to pass/fail other than be tall enough.
After that is the psychological testing. No pressure here, because none of it really matters -- they're just looking to know your personality for their own informational purposes (they wanna know what makes a flyboy/girl tick, so to speak).
After what seems like forever with those computer personality tests, you'll get a break for lunch.
The afternoon is what most people worry about -- mostly because it consists of the echocardiagram and eye testing. The heart test is a no-brainer: the tech will just use the ultrasound machine to check you out.
Eye testing is pretty basic when compared to the stuff you did in the FC1. Of course, there are color tests, depth perception tests, and the famous red-lens test. Don't fret - it's not as extensive as the FC1 vision portion.
I guess the big kicker of it all is that the techs really don't tell you anything until the end of the day. Therefore, you spend most of the day wondering how you did. If they find an anomoly, they'll probably retest you and havve a flight doc brief you about what's going on. You'll leave that night knowing your future for sure (unless they ask you back for extra testing the next day).
If you want more info, check out
www.studentpilot.net. That site has a military flying forum that has a wealth of Brooks info. Just do a search. Other than that, just get plenty of rest, drink plenty of water (hydration helps your eyes), and bring a good book/magazine (you'll be waiting a round quite a bit). Oh, take deep breaths, too...RELAX.
