    Any Suggestions on a Financial Institution?

    Darn! Wish we'd read this a week ago. CC chose Chase Bank and his paperwork has been submitted to WP already? Any insight into their local services near WP? Sent using the Service Academy Forums® mobile app

    Remedial and Waiver question

    There should be some remedial codes on your son's DODMERB portal. You can look those up on the list posted on the DODMERB website...there is a link on the left side of the home page. With our son, we did that and were able to get started on the remedials and have most of the materials ready to...

    Contingency plans?

    Thanks everyone... to clarify, I was asking mainly in case of injury during Beast. Separation is not something we are not too worried about with DS, even though we recognize the possibility is always there. That said, it seems obvious now that if he's injured but given an LOA to return in a...

    Contingency plans?

    Contingency plans?

    Lone Star... Your perspective brought up more uncertainty... DS was also offered 4yr AROTC scholarship to Texas A&M (his Plan B). So he could accept at TAMU, but what happens with the AROTC scholarship? They know USMA is his first choice. He's also applied for and been a prospective winner...

    Easiest Way to Send Medical Forms

    We just completed the waiver process with our DS. If I remember correctly, instructions specifically stated NO email submissions. And I think you could FAX up to 15 pages. We had over 100 pages of medical records plus discs of CT scans and X-rays. We boxed it all up and sent it via FedEx...

    Medical Qualifications

    DS fractured his scapula in August and now has permanent titanium plates & screws. He went through the waiver process and was just granted a waiver last week. DODMERB made several remedial requests including a functional evaluation and second opinion from non-treating orthopedist. Be proactive...

    Contingency plans?

    We certainly don't, that's why we are asking.... Its our faith-driven inclination to go "all in" and trust God for all things, including whatever might happen. He's been faithful so far!!! Sent using the Service Academy Forums® mobile app
