DS applied to USAFA and got a TD. DoDMERB status also changed to Withdrawn for USAFA. However he received also a TD for USNA but his DodMERB status is still showing Waiver Requested.
Our older DS went through this Medical Waiver process for exzema that showed in his medical history when he applied to the Service Academy. I remember he submitted the relevant requirements including a doctor's ceritification that it is already cleared/cured as he had this when he was very...
