    NROTC...WHY!?

    I'm a navy option midshipman, I know a few marine options (and navy) who have just found out they've been medically cleared and gotten the scholarship to go through. They've started to receive benefits since being cleared. A few others didn't get a scholarship but have been medically cleared...

    History of valvular heart disease

    Sorry about the confusion, my mistake it was an echocardiogram that I had done and thought the abbreviation was EKG. The cardiologist wasn't in the hostpital when I had it done, it had to be sent to him in Florida (I'm in NY), then he made a review of it and sent his opinion to DoDMERB, or so...

    History of valvular heart disease

    I received notification of being awarded a NROTC scholarship to my first choice unit April 4th. As many others have posted on this forum, I have since received a disqualification from DoDMERB. This DQ is for code "D101.00 Valvular heart disease, history of." I had an EKG a few weeks ago, that...
