30th Aug Flight Screening

First of thankyou Dan Smith for the reply, I will definitely be hitting you up for some tips for flight screening. I just got called up for the Aug 30th FSP so if anyone else on here is also in that slot, let us know ) I'll just briefly talk about a few of the not so much talked about aspects of the pilot application process some of you guyz might be going/to go through. First: I was listed as medical 3R after my DI. Failed the spirometry and the blood pressure test. Upon consultation with specialist and doctor I was listed as fine, in fact they were surprised that I failed. For the spirometry they did not explain what to do properly so I just blew in normally. Don't. Blow like your life depends on it and more, also relax your muscles (let out your gut). Before the medicals I suggest practice blowing into balloons, also eat foods such as dark chocolate to reduce blood pressure jic.
