Thank you and everybody else for their help. Now that I have gotten an answer to my question, I will, in the words of Smeagol, "leave now and never come back". I apologize if I angered offended anybody with any of my posts. I know that some posts were unclear, and some of my statements...

Thank you for your simple and easy response. Your advice is actually pretty obvious, now that I think of it. The Nurse Practitioner whom I went in to see did not or could not issue a referral - all she said was to go see a cardiologist. Super helpful...

Thank you again for the clarification. When I first started researching things, I was led to literature regarding disenrollment investigations and the like - so I (erroneously) figured that a medical DQ was something that you had to actively seek, not automatically get awarded. Now that I...

Navy Hoops, thank you so much for your post. I really appreciate someone who is genuinely interested in helping me out, instead of trying to discredit me and accuse me of all manner of things. Yes, I realize I am a gear whore. I like having cool things. We call these type of people "Razis" -...

The earliest MAX anybody in my Det can attend is MAX 3, since school does not let out until 12 June. Instruction ends 5 June. Finals week is 8 June to 12 June. As for preexisting, the earliest date I can say that I have experienced anything like this is 20 January, 2015, with future...

The last time I had a DodMERB was when I applied for the program back when I was an incoming freshman. I can go into the exact details of the physical examination if you like. I was administered a urine test from a cute nurse. I remember this, because she said, "don't fill the cup up all the...

We have PT Tuesday and Friday. Today is Thursday. Tomorrow is Friday. I gave the note to the NCO today. He says no PT tomorrow, which for me, is Friday. Memorial day is on Monday. Is this a problem?

Yes, that was my mistake and I may end up paying for it. I am hoping that OP does not make the same mistake. I messed up, and I don't want others to do the same. Please don't crucify me.

I handed my note to the NCO, he handed it back saying that I needed something more detailed. From what I'm hearing, I guess this is not standard operating procedure.

I don't understand why everybody is trying their hardest to say that I'm a troll. I'm genuinely trying to ask for your help, and all I am getting is opposition. Now, back to actual business. 1. Yes, things sound fishy. Heart condition that I am only now just reporting? Surely, he must be...

Got it. I won't say anything because I don't know for sure. What I do know is that all of the 500s at my Det are going to Field Training this year.

Seriously? Please stop calling me a troll. I am visiting the emergency room because that is the only place that is open during the holiday weekend.

I know the timing is not the greatest, and many of you probably think I'm trying to slither out of FT. That is not the case. The condition started in January, but did not turn (what I deemed to be) serious until now. I know now that any, even minor heart related conditions are serious, but at...

Thank you for your information. I was under the impression that you somehow had to "apply" for a medical DQ, or build a case or something like that. I was not aware that bit was an automatic thing. I just reported the illness today, but the doctors note apparently was not "detailed enough" to...

A cadet friend and I were shooting the breeze and the topic came up. Neither of us really have any idea what the rank on your ID card actually means in real life. Does it mean you are a veteran if you leave? Does it mean you automatically achieve that rank of you end up enlisting? The question...

I first experienced an anomaly in January, which went away for about two months so figured it was nothing. Then it happened on and off randomly, for a while. It was not impacting my physical performance, as I would feel fine by the next day, so I was fine during PT and for PFAs. Within the...

In regards to security concerns, the pictures I posted feature no sensitive information, only date, charge, and amount charged. Thank you for looking out though. Now that we have both said what we need to say, I think it's time to move on. I apologize for raging, but I'm glad we kept things...

I'm gatering intel mostly by asking around, studying regs, and posting on other forums. I received a HS scholarship. Once I am DQ'd I am seeking to quit altogether and focus on not dying. I've been exhibiting symptoms of pre-heart attack, apparently, and simply put I don't want to put myself...

Message heard, understood and acknowledged. I am now aware of relevant details and can relay to fellow cadets who were wondering the same thing. Sometimes I do start to rage, but as long as I know the rules then I'm usually ok. Thanks.

I am currently an AS200. I was slated to attend Field Training, Max 3. The medical DQ has yet to officially begin; I am currently gathering information and details to ensure that the DQ process moves along smoothly and I do not end up penalized. I am hoping that somebody can help me out...
