I apologize for the horrific grammar and typos everyone. Midterms have not been treating me well...

Hello all. Got my TWE today. I have opened three applications, and I have always put up a super competitive packet. However, DoDMERB and USMA's waivers have always been the obstacle I couldn't overcome every single year. I still have the heart and drive to reapply, however, how do I go about...

I right here with you bud... Let's just hope for the best :)

Thanks for making my anxiety go from an 80% to a solid 25%! Also GoCubbies, I hope your username is referring to the Chicago Cubs. If so, "Baseball season's underway. Go Cubs Go!"

Also, forgot to mention that I do not have any retinal pathology such as lattice degeneration or tears.

Yes I have. I think that is a good sign, am I correct?

The Army does the entire spherical equivalent and half of the cylindrical equivalent. This results in my wonky numbers. My spherical (prescription) equivalent is -7.00 and -7.25

I know there are quite a bit of post about vision limits, but nobody really posts their results so it is quite difficult to see where I'm standing at the moment. Vision is -8.25 and -8.375. Cleared for Army ROTC. From my understanding USMA's standards are higher and they tend to stick near...

I have concluded that I will not send a letter. Thanks for all the advice everyone!

Title explains itself. Will my PMS writing a letter on my behalf to help push my waiver through for USMA help any?

Anyone still have Pending Waiver Submission/Review on their DoDMERB file still? I do understand that the hard deadline is April 15th and that my chances are getting slimmer and slimmer since the class is filling up. I'm not giving up hope though. On a happier note, my ROTC waivers finally got...

Hi All! I took a plebe like fall semester course load along with required classes that come along with my major. Unfortunately, I was not that satisfied with my GPA. I was just wondering what kind of GPA (college) admissions is looking for?

I'm currently signing up for college classes, and physics is one that USNA takes a lot of interest in. At my college I have two choices for physics. Intro to Physics: Science and Engineering and Intro to Physics: Biology and Premed. I'm a biochem major so my advisor is pushing me towards the...

Hi all! My NROTC recruiters couldn't find any one available to go to my senior awards ceremony and my graduation, but they said they would like to make it up by having a private ceremony. What do they mean by private ceremony? Like doing it at my house with my family or at the city hall...

Do your best to memorize rates: General Orders of a Sentry, How's the Cow, etc etc, but most importantly Navy Blue and Gold and USNA Mission Statement. It'll save you a lot of time and stress! Do your best and have fun! And for the love of god, do not get a concussion from spring sports the...

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind! I'm working closely with a LCDR to help me navigate this situation so hopefully this all turns out well!

A waiver has been sent and is pending review, they haven't asked for more information yet. If the waiver is denied, I would like to dispute it.

Hi all! My physicians and I are kind of stuck with how to craft an eloquently written letter to submit as supplementary material for my waiver? My DQ's are: History of head injury with associated post injury manifestations History of adjustment disorder Myopia - refractive error greater than...

I was referred to a psychologist after a concussion, he said I had stress adjustment disorder. I looked into it myself and thought I didn't have it. I later got more outside opinions from psychologists and psychiatrists who also came to the conclusion I did not have stress adjustment disorder...

Hi! I have been DQ'ed with history with a head injury (concussion from sports), history of adjustment disorder, and eyesight greater than -8.00 diopters. The problem is I was misdiagnosed with adjustment disorder, I never had it. Along with that, when I had my eyesight checked and it came out...
