My apologies for a personal issue, but this board has always been a great source of information and guidance.
Background:
DS was medically qualified, received both a USNA appointment and a NROTC scholarship. He broke his ankle, which is surgically pinned, and was medically disqualified from both – Pending Waiver. DS decided to accept the NROTC scholarship instead of risking both options. He has been released to full activity, is back to 100%, and has submitted all records to DODMERB. ROTC starts in about 3 weeks. He has called DODMERB and confirmed that the records had arrived; they have no additional information for him. He’s informed the unit's LT he’s been working with and even sent an email to his original NROTC recruiter (at the suggestion of DODMERB). And we wait…
It’s unclear if the medical waiver is required to start ROTC.
I am also very concerned that if he does start and his waiver is denied, he’d lose his scholarship creating a financial nightmare.
Am I being overly concerned?
Any thoughts, suggestions, or guidance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
