Medical Screening Information
1. Candidates must have a completed Naval Special Warfare/Special Operations (NSW/SO) physical with UMO signature, PHA with IMR, medical and dental records prior to reporting to ASPOC, A&S and ITC. This includes a Report of Medical History (DD Form 2807-1) and a Report of Medical Examination (DD Form 2808). The completed NSW/SO physical MUST be reviewed and countersigned by an Undersea Medical Officer prior to checking into MSOS. Because of limitations in time and resources, students with incomplete medical documentation will be IMMEDIATELY considered a medical drop from the course and returned to their parent commands.
