racandthree, I am going through a similar process your Dear Son (DS) will be disqualified because of the ADHD diagnoses. A lot of this is understanding the verbiage. Like myself your son can go through the DoDMERB process and will expect to be declined based on the ADHD diagnosis. After...

To the OP and briannie: I got an MDQ back in April 2011 part of which was for a peanut allergy I admitted to in my DoDMERB. That is an immediate disqualification. I went to an allergist to find out the options. They first prick tested me, which led to them suggesting a take a blood test to...

Pima is right. No one is answerring the phones or returning messages. Unfortunately their website does not have many alternative forms of contact info. I am currently a freshmen/sophomore (20 completed credits) at Penn State Berks. I will be transferring to main campus FALL 2014 . I wanted to...

Does anyone have contact or know any cadre or staff members at Det 720? I've been trying to contact them for most of the summer with no response. I'd like to talk to them about becoming a cadet there.

I have good news and bad news. I'm the original poster that Pima gave you a link to. Bad news: Pima is right on the two years, so if you are a senior the two years off of medication will not happen before you begin the academy. There are other circumstances such as: how long you were on the...

If that's the case a local ROTC detachment/battalion can give you the answer, but might not have it readily available. Fair warning: it's not going to be an encouraging number. Never-the-less be sure to apply! I was awarded a type two after only one semester of a good GPA and being active in AFROTC.

I'm no professional so don't quote me. In my AFROTC experience the scholarships weren't based on percentage. HQ has a set amount of money in the budget to give to scholarships and that dictates how many scholarships there are to give, not a percentage.

Thanks for the help and kind support! And I sure will be keeping my GPA up!

Thanks for the info! And to clear things up, I'm applying as a college student.

I'm assumming we're all getting a little nervous waiting for that packet to show up. I was wondering, what can I be getting ready/doing in the meantime? This is my first time applying to USAFA, do I have to wait to get things like LORs and wait to apply for nominations?

I'm also I 2018 hopeful. If it makes you feel better I haven't heard anything new since filling out the Pre-Candidate Questionnaire either.

Hello, I'm a 2018 hopeful. I have seven years of playing competitive volleyball through grade school and all of high school, then a year of a volleyball club in college. My last college and my current college do not have men's volleyball teams. I was wondering, what sort of path is it to become...

Just as a follow up, I have a 3.67 CGPA, and I've played volleyball for seven years, so I hope those show enough committment. And as always thank you!

I'm also applying as a college student, but I haven't applied to USAFA before. I'm going into my sophomore year. My main concern is that, as a college student it is far less possible, at my college, to be widely involved in clubs than it was in high school. The two clubs I will be in this year...

I had some trouble contact my ALO as well. If you're in PA, maybe you had some of the same difficulties of we, as there was just a change up in a position. Also, my ALO told me she would be out of contact over this week. Have you emailed or called?

I'm not sure what you mean by "PCM." What I do have is a letter from my doctor saying, paraphrased: That I was prescribed medication at a young age. I have stopped taking the medication. I have shown the ability to be a fully functional adult in society, and that I should no longer be considered...

Some extra information. I was previously a cadet in a detachment in Florida. I completed one semester, and during the second semester I got MDQ'ed after being awarded a scholarship. I'm not sure if I completed the standards for the 100 year or not. The whole back story is in the DoDMERB forum...

Pima you are right. I am not cleared by DoDMERB, and if I understand the process correctly I will never be "cleared by DoDMERB." What I do have is that I was in frequent contact with the help desk and my previous detachment, and I eventually got the word that I would be given a waiver from the...

After transferring to my local Penn State school I am now a Freshmen based off of credits. I will be a Sophomore either at the end of this summer semester or at the end of the FALL 2013 semester. I think I should have worded my question differently. I checked the box saying, yes I would also...

From what I've been told form USAFA cadets: the linemen on their football team sign a form stating that, at the time of commissioning they will meet the height and weight standards. To my knowledge this would not be available for say, a high school football linemen who isn't going to play for USAFA.
