Well, after 3 years of trying my DS hit the end today when he was told his appeal was denied and he would not be granted a medical waiver for the Coast Guard Academy. He is in the same boat with Merchant Marine & Navy so after 3 years of trying, his dream of one of the marine academies is gone...

DS is still mailbox stalking. He has a Coast Guard appointment in hand and that is plan 'B,' but still holding out hope for USNA.

See my thread here. http://www.serviceacademyforums.com/index.php?threads/required-spirometry-standard-to-avoid-dq.40702/

It is worth it to get additional info. in to show the condition is not an issue and request your file be reviewed again. My DS was DQ'd for asthma after 13 (which just wasn't correct) we got additional info. (including a pulmonary function test he had at 15 for football eligibility) and sent it...

Go here https://www.dodmets.com/ That is the point of contact for scheduling your medical exams for DoDMERB. You have a bit more time I believe (I could be wrong). My son has a conditional appointment, he needs a waiver from DoDMERB. His appointment letter said he had until June1 to get the...

My son was directed to undergo a remedial for asthma. He went to the provider Concorde directed him to visit and had it done. Yesterday, in the mail, we received a bill from that provider noting what Concorde had paid and telling us that "our portion" of the bill of $69.00 dollars and...

My DS wanted to eat at the Outback the day he got his appt. to USCGA so we obliged. I need new tags on my car and I'm going to get Coast Guard tags. But best of all, his girlfriend (since the age of 4) lives in Germany atm (her dad is Air Force) and they are paying for him to come spend 2...

Remedial does not necessarily mean a DQ or need for a waiver, it is an indication there is a condition they have some concern over and they want more info. about it to decide if it should be a DQ. Wait till it shows exactly what the problem is and what exact remedial they want and get it done...

Me and my DS work on a singular theory that keeps us in check, NO ONE knows who will get a BFE or a TWE until they actually get it.

Duh, I feel dumb, didn't see the other one.

DS finally stopped stalking when he got an offer from the Coast Guard Academy. Now he just keeps his fingers crossed. :D

My son participated in the "Cadet for a Day" program when he was in H.S. a few years ago (this was his 3rd attempt to receive an appointment and he got it this time) and so we have opted to forego the AEP program (travel time and costs and the need to miss classes here at the university he...

Good news - got the results from the remedial that DoDMERB ordered, went to see our own pulmonologist to get a 2nd test or do the Methacoline Challenge test. He reviewed DoDMERB test results and refused to do another test and said the remedial test had been interpreted wrongly by DoDMERB. He...

I think this leaves out the part that says "while everyone was paying attention to North Korea, Cuba wandered from the American table over to the Russian table and offered them a cigar. Russia said "cool, have a seat." Cuba sat down and started to talk with Russia and they became BFF's...

LOL

My son is 20, in his 2nd year in college, contracted with the Army ROTC, but will likely get out of that contract since he was offered a slot in the U.S. Coast Guard Academy and is waiting to hear from the Naval Academy. My father was a chaplain in the Army during the Vietnam era and buried a...
