Would not bet the farm on this info, but per the DoD instruction number 6130.03 "Medical Standards for Appointment, Enlistment, or Induction in the Military Services" dated 28 April 2010, following is an excerpt pertaining to asthma. My DS followed this after he received a request for more info...

Opps -when I said received BFE (Calls) within I day, I ment the week before I-Day.

Currey, I have been reading your post about the wait and it made me remimber a waitlisted canadidate a couple of years ago. I had been a avid reader of the forums as my DS was applying to the class of 2017. Jalusna2016 has a DD that was waitlisted for the class of 2016. She was an outstanding...

Not sure of the "Letter of Law", but if I were a Congress member and this happened to my Principle, then there would be H*** to pay. Willing to bet none of the principles this happened to were nominated by a member of the Armed Services Committee.

Congrates and stay healthy Last year our DS was I informed (by Congressman) that he received a Principle Nom on 3 Dec. His USNA application status page indicated he had received a nomination (did not indicate principle or competitive) on 11 Dec. Received BFE on 3 January. By the way he was...

Looking in the past 4 years (2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016) I can't find Scouting nor Eagle being listed in the published profile. Also 2014 listed the "Hardship or Adverse Life Experience" cat.

Did you take the oath of office before you resigned, or did you leave prior to the oath of office?

Naval Academy admissions willl accept updated grades through January (maybe Feb), so yes your Sr. 1st semester performance (classes and grades will be reviewed).

Not sure what you mean by "I didn't get into the Naval Academy" and then asked about NASS? I assume your are a Jr. and you applied to NASS for this summer, received a denial and are wondering about what to do to become a candidate for the class of 2018. If this is correct, my DS was in...

Hi TexasBG, Not a Track, DS is Lacrosse. I believe it is the other DD due to her post from last year, and she was reapplying.

jalusna2016, Sent you a PM, just wanted to say congrats, I believe we sat at the same table with your DD at the NTx alumni Bluechip dinner.

prthaler and suddensam, My DS had the same feeling as you. His CIS currently shows only the basics (SAT scores, and status of required application info), and the DoDMERB site only showed qualification info. But he is FQ (had principle nom) with BFE in hand. So do not get discouraged.

I have no idea concerning your question, but you may want to post your question on the ROTC thread, to get an answer.

PIMA: This brings up a question I have had in my head for a while. Assume DS gets a 4yr ROTC scholarship (in particular a NROTC-MO) and accepts it. Then in March/April timeframe gets a BFE from USNA (fingers crossed). If he holds on to the NROTC-MO scholarship till I-Day (makes sure he...

TEG: Did you mean met on Oct 13, or meets on Nov13?

Not answering your question, but looking at what you DS is wanting, can I suggest you look at Birmingham Southern College. My oldest goes there. The school is a small (1300) Liberal Arts college with a very good business school and can minor in pre-engineering. Has an AROTC (cross town with...

MMMom, Under the U of H they list the clinical services, and my DS called about 6 weeks ago. They stated they still provide the Farnsworth Lantern testing on Thurs morinings for $60. Also, you can get the testing in College Station, but you have to schedule well in advance, as I believe they...

$250 yikes!, At U of Houston Med school it is $60 (but we did not try it, as he passed the PiP at the NAS).

What area of the country are you in? If you are interested, there are a few (very few) eye doc.s that have the Farnsworth. Example there is a FAA filght doctor in Az. that performs the Fransworth Lantern to help people that have simular issue with the FAA. Also, the University of Houston...

Same happened to my DS. He called the DoDMERB and was informed that starting 1 September the DoDMERB stop sending remed for Color Deficient. I believe the issue is the problems the DoDMERB was having finding a facility with a Farnsworth L, and the logistics of getting the canadidate on base...
