|  Lungs I am currently a junior in college and aspire to become a naval aviator. While playing hockey at about age 14 I complained to my physician about shortness of breath. My doctor prescribed me an inhaler and diagnosed me with sports induced asthma. Both of my parents smoked quite heavily growing up and I have never had an asthma attack. My shortness of breath has gone away and living away at school I run 5 miles every other day with no problems at all. I really don't think it's asthma or ever was but would I still be able to pass a class one? Would a surgeon possibly read between the lines and be able to provide me with some kind of waiver? Thanks for any opinion/advice you can provide me with? |

| Re: Lungs I am unfamiliar with the Naval standards. If you have normal lung function, you will probably be OK. |
