    RetNavyHM, Thank you for the very helpful input. It is especially helpful to know that waivers have been granted. I know this is not a sure thing but does verify that a wavier is a possibility. We will continue to collect documentation on his progress.

    TN If he wants to go to an SA we'll be ready for the fight. His Oncologist is convinced the kids that had cancer, and beat it, can go on to do anything and has the research to back it up. DODMERB would have their hands full if they picked a fight with her. usna1985 I appreciate the postion of...

    Cancer

    KP2001, you jarred my memory on the DQ list on DODMERB. The link is: https://dodmerb.tricare.osd.mil/detachment/detachment.asp Sure enough D190.50 History of Malignant Tumor is a DQ code. I guess that means that he would have to pursue a waiver from ab SA. So I should probably speak with the...

    Hey R - at least the humidity is low (unlike the other USXAs) and the temps don't get above the 90s during the day and the 50s at night. You'll be next to some of the most stunning mountains in the world and 'the Springs' is a good conservative town. Good luck preparing for BCT!

    Zaphod - thanks for the post. My son is sometimes asked, "So, what can you do with an education from the AFA." He politely responds, "Fly jets!, then become a CEO."

    Hey Zaphod - I'll bet. You find your way here and I will provide the suds and cigar after a hike up a 14er. (to be fair, I wouldn't mind seeing NC) So will some of the other flatlander appointees that will be sucking wind on I-Day +1. My son will be in Dillon,CO (Elev. 10,500) this week...
