    NROTC under waiver review

    My son was award the 4 year national scholarship on January 16, 2024. He has been under waiver review for awhile now and I am wondering if he will be able to attend NSI this summer if the status doesn't change soon. If the waiver makes it so he cannot attend NSI, will that void his scholarship?

    What should my physician address in a letter?

    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...

    Is anyone having trouble logging into DoDMERB today?

    I guess my real question is, am I about to be turned down for a medical waiver? I can log into my USNA account just fine, but when I attempt to log into DoDMERB, it says “invalid username or login”. I did get logged in last night and was able to view it. Any help would be great, thanks!
