Re: you know it's gonna be a long medical... When I moved south, I was the first of the group of us to need a medical in the area. I used the postcard method.
Walking to the exam room I noticed that the doc had pics of astronauts and with presidents and all that. Flight surgeon.
During the medical he was talking about how he made the astronaut short list, and yada, yada.....I told him I was an underachiever..
I got some friggin' NASA astronaut medical. I wanted to tell him just to check my index finger, and make sure my butt had enough fat to take the excruciating exercise of glass airplane airline-style flying.
I kept my mouth shut though....
