Just got my form from my son for the upcoming cruise on the USS Nevada SSBN-733. It is even simpler then yours, only 1 1/2 pages, 9 questions. Basic stuff like "Can you climb a 20 ft vertical ladder?" Various disease questions and what med are you on. And no, I am not pregnant!

do these forms have to be signed by a doctor? we are planning to take TC on the reagan.

we did not unless there was a medical condition that could have impacted the cruise...I've heard that has changed and you MAY need to get signed off by a doctor....best to ask your sailor for an exact clarification

I just completed all the paperwork for my younger son to join his brother on the Tiger Cruise for the USS Pearl Harbor. There was an Intent To Participate form, a Medical Release form (very basic stuff, but a Dr. signature was required), and since my younger son is still a minor (16 y/o) I also had to complete a Medical Power of Attorney and have it notarized to make my older son (the Sponsor) the "Legal Guardian" for the duration of the cruise.  The ship did not provide that form, so I just printed out a generic one from a Google search and I'm hoping it's sufficient.
