Hello all,
I had found out that I was medically disqualified from CGA, USNA and MMA because of :
D155.41 Distant visual acuity not correctable to 20/20 in each eye
However, I went to an optometrist and had my eyes checked...She said that my eyes WERE correctable to 20/20 vision...however, in an email to a DoDMERB official, they said the following:
U still DO NOT meet standards for USMMA AND USCGA. U meet standards for West Point and USAFA. U will receive a letter, U can look at the website, to have one more eye test performed for USMMA and USCGA. U do correct to 20/20 now.
As stated previously in the document I attached before,, paras 5,7,8, 9, 10, u do NOT need to request a waiver.
There is no need to reply to my email.
I am really confused now, because even though I correct to 20/20 I am still medically disqualified. I know that I there is the possibility of getting a medical waiver, but I would rather avoid that if possible....Can anyone enlighten me on why I do not meed the medical standards for the Sea-Going Academies?
