DAD
Not always.
DS's remedial was received and posted by DodMerb in mid December. Just found out yesterday that the academies never picked up this information, so no action has been taken on his waiver.
At this point, it is probably a good idea to confirm rather than assume.
MOSDad,
What is the best way to confirm that the academy has received DoDMERB update? My son contacted his regional officer and he said that DoDMERB has not updated his status and it may be awhile, but I have confirmation that it was emailed to appropriate person at USNA and that is all that was necessary.
