    Lazy Eye/ Vision

    Be sure to check the medical codes for all your conditions. Now, just from reading your post, the corrective surgeries are probably (i.e. very probable) going to be an issue. I'm no expert in the DoDMERB codes but I think any form of eye surgery is an issue. I'm not sure about the lazy eye but I...

    Your impression is correct: waivers are processed once your application is completed. You will not receive an appointment if your waiver is denied. Keep in mind that an accepted waiver does not always equate to an appointment. However, it is the academies that initiate the waiver (based on...

    CFA Pull Ups

    You have to hang for like 2 seconds before you can go up. Place your hands about shoulder width apart. Too close, you have longer distance to pull up. Too far, it really hurts the shoulders. You have to go up and down without kipping, with a slight dead hang when you go down. The only way to...

    CFA Grading at SLE

    Perform the exercises correctly. They have cadets watching and counting the repetitions. They spot check the pushups and situps with other candidates counting.

    Questions on Competitiveness

    At SLE, the former Northeast Commander (I think all the Regional Commanders switched out) told us yes. He said he looks at how competitive the school is and he uses the SAT/Rank to our benefit.

    Height/Weight requirement

    I have to get my medical done next week and I was wondering if exercising before the medical really matters. I know they say not to exercise but I don't understand why. I like to stick to my workout schedule if possible.
