In April 2019 I was enlisting in the national guard at the MEPS station. After a blood draw was conducted. I walked down a hallway, and proceeded to pass out. Resulting in a TBI with Basilar Skull Fracture. I have gone deaf in my right ear as well from the blow to my head. This year I applied for a first class medical again and was denied on terms of a TBI form the AME in OK. I was given the option to wait till April 2024 or request reconsideration from the Federal Air Surgeon. I want to send in a letter to the FAA but I don’t know what effects it may have if I get denied again, and the chances I may get re-evaluated for approval. I am 19 years old and have had a speedy recovery from the accident. My PCP reported all resolved accept for the hearing (which may not come back ever). I have had some neuro psych testing and passed (difficult to schedule during Covid). And have also had recent MRIs. Is requesting reconsideration worth it? And if I do get denied again, which I have heard is likely. Will that Effect my reapplication in 2024? Thank you,
