    For those of you who have received a waiver decision...

    Did you see notice of the decision on it first on the DoDMERB Status site or receive it through the mail first? I am figuring it would show up on the website first, but who knows.

    Medical Review Time Line

    We got a response pretty quickly...like 2 weeks I think...and we knew that DS would be needing a medical waiver. According to their website, because of the different nature of each person's medical history there is not really a time frame that they adhere to....unfortunately. We are now in the...

    Remedial and Waiver question

    Not sure why it is not showing any code(s) on there. I know they had mentioned a second opinion on whether or not he has a hernia. So I guess we wait for the paperwork and see what it says. Thanks everyone for so much information and help!

    Remedial and Waiver question

    As expected, my son received a remedial status. So we are waiting on the paperwork through the mail to see exactly what it says. Does a remedial status mean we will HAVE to get a waiver or is it possible to get the information/do what they ask (which we figure is a second opinion and...

    Question about Med Exams yesterday

    Thank you EDelahanty for your information! Can you share the link where that comes from? I am just praying that either they don't find anything with a second opinion or it is taken care of with surgery and a clearance. Praying, praying, praying!!

    Question about Med Exams yesterday

    Ok, so DS's eye exam went great no problems at all. But the medical was different. He was informed that he has a possible hernia (that we knew nothing about) and they said they would send the papers to get a second opinion on it. Dr. said if he needed surgery this could possibly be a...

    Waiver Question

    Thank you for that information EDelahanty. He was knocked unconscious, but it was less than 30 seconds and although a bit dizzy was immediately able to answer questions. The injury occurred in January 2012 with no further complications thankfully and he was cleared to wrestle again...

    Waiver Question

    First, I always forget to say, this is for AROTC. Thanks for all the info! DS has had several minor injuries (like most boys), with no surgery and one wrestling injury that we initially thought was to his neck, but after further examination determined it just to be a concussion (thankfully) but...

    Waiver Question

    I see a lot of people posting about waivers...do a lot of people need waivers? And what types of things are people needing waivers for? My son has his exam this Monday and all this has me worried. He has no known issues that we are aware of that should keep him from being qualified, but...

    AROTC Scholarship

    When we spoke with the ROO he said that they coordinate that with the school. We gave him the info on DS's senior awards night just in case, and he said that is when they would come.

    Next step after receiving scholarship?

    We received our packet yesterday, so hopefully yours will come soon too! Question regarding the SF-86...our packet says to go online and print this out. Do they return it with the acceptance letter or take it with them to the school or should I ask someone at Cadet Command? LOL

    Ok, still not showing, but that's great that they are coming out. Thanks for the info! Thankfully we are not needing to request a transfer! Just wanting to get it all squared away. We are almost afraid to even say anything yet until we get that "official" letter! : )
