Hi, I just received a letter from DoDMERB stating that I've been disqualified due to an uncorrected anemia. I have Thalassemia Minor, which I believe does affect my hemoglobin production. I'm wondering how likely it is I'll be granted a waiver for the USAFA, and if I am, how waiverable this condition is for becoming a pilot. If it helps, I'm not iron deficient, I can run many miles just fine, I've done sports all my life and I don't get the tiredness symptoms that my grandmother, who has the same condition, has had her whole life (i.e. I feel I'm asymptomatic re: the anemia).
Thanks for your input.
