DISCLAIMER:
Coast Guard practices, with respect to the physical and medical evaluation process, continually evolve in modern medical practices and current safety standards. Although the current NVIC 04-08 details specific medical conditions, and the recommended data for evaluation of each condition to determine fitness for service, it is not all inclusive or definitive and may be subject to further review.
