Back in the summer, I had a pretty devastating virus that blocked my airways; around the same time, my parents had noticed that I had pretty bad snoring and I was getting up at night, so they ordered a sleep study for me. The doctors eventually diagnosed me with minor obstructive sleep apnea...

My DS was disqualified for post-COVID Olfactory Deficiency. Has anyone else received a waiver for this condition? Is this a non-negotiable for USNA? Appreciate any insights at all. Thank you. BEAT ARMY!

Hi all! Just trying to get some insights from those who Qualified from Dodmerb, DS checked his Dodmerb account this week and saw that his status changed to "qualified" for NROTC. What happens next? There is an attachment letter in Dodmerb stating he is qualified, is that it? Are we getting...

Hey all, Welcome to the 214786th thread of waiver questions! 1. How will the Academy reach out to me (how long does it typically take this time of year)? 2. My DoDMERB Portal status says "under waiver review" is this the default or am I under review for a waiver? 3. My USNA portal still has a...

Hey guys, quick question. I just got the scholarship acceptance for the Army ROTC and I was wondering for the medical exam if you have pes planus or flat feet does that get you disqualified for receiving the scholarship?

A little background: (Applying to USAFA) In 2022, I intermittently trialed Vyvanse for attention issues. My last dose was Aug 11, 2022. This is over the 15 months required. I was never diagnosed with adhd or any disorder, I just trialed it. After stopping, my doctor determined that the issues...

I was kind of late to the party on applying, so I took my medical exams somewhat late. On DoDMERB's website, it now says I am medically qualified. This changed today. Will this be a problem since it is past the 1/31 deadline for applying? It's still showing up as "incomplete" in the application...

I just learned yesterday that my waiver for USNA was denied, but I have not yet begun to fight (thank you John Paul Jones). I can and will appeal their decision, so I wanted to ask if anybody has any advice or experience with the appeal process they would be willing to share. Or are there...

I was DQ'ed for high-frequency hearing loss in one ear (very minor btw). My ENT doctor told me it is not a problem at all and that he does not ever see it being an issue for service or life in general. It is not progressive and is only at a very high frequency so it pretty much just means I...

I've recently been DQ'd for a case of CECS that was successfully surgically treated a little under a year ago. I'm wondering what exactly are the criteria for granting a waiver. I've returned to full activity with no further issues. I've submitted my surgical notes and a letter from my treating...

I was medically disqualified for a history of eczema on 11/29 by DoDMERB and was waived by USNA on 12/10. This is exciting because I do not have an LOA and the pharmacy records I submitted to DoDMERB included prescriptions from only 2 years ago to treat eczema which initially led me to believe...

I'm trying to sign up for the DoDMERB exam and the website won't let me make an account. My two brothers who have already gone through the exam didn't experience this issue. What do I need to do to in order to make an account so I can schedule an appointment?
