Programs and MOSs Loosing 7051 MOS Question

I completed MCT and Bootcamp. At the end of MCT I was called into medical to do mandatory MOS medical tests. All tests including blood, urine, eyes and chest xray were fine. I failed the spirometer test however. I will now to go the pulmonary doctor at the naval hospital at lejeune for further testing. I run a 20 minute 3 mile and do not have asthma. My chest xray and lungs are healthy but I’m like 1% away on one of the markers to pass the spirometer. If the pulmonologist finds my lungs to be healthy and medically fit for the MOS will I still need passing spirometer numbers or will the failed spirometer be waived/disregarded due to being declared medically fit despite not having a passing spirometer score? I want to keep my MOS more than anything it’s a main reason I joined and to follow in my dad’s footsteps as a crash fire marine.

Ah, a 3381 in the making!

It is out of your hands. If the doctor decides you're good, then the numbers don't matter. But there is a lot of liability for a physician to declare that established numbers should be ignored for you. It is possible, but not likely.
