    Waiver Process/Understanding DQ?

    The thing I don't understand is that I explained it was a misdiagnosis and I had testing done to prove it. In regards to what?

    Waiver Process/Understanding DQ?

    I was just informed that I didn't meet DoD standards, but I don't understand why. It said because I had eczema when I was 12 for a month, and because of allergy induced asthma which I had tested and proved to be wrong (scoring above 100% on all spirometry tests), and my braces which will be...

    Asthma Questions

    So I shouldn't get a spirometry or other testing done before they order it? I'm a SA candidate.

    Asthma Questions

    I don't know if it's true, but I heard they cost upwards of $1000? So if they order more testing, it would be from one of my doctors, not one of theirs? Also, congratulations! That's super exciting.

    Asthma Questions

    I haven't yet scheduled my physical or done anything with DoDMERB, but I saw on here that asthma can be disqualifying. This worries me, because when I was 14 or 15, I went to the allergist for a routine allergy check. At the end of my appointment, they had me blow in some machine and they said...
