Let me preface this thread by saying that my son has already emailed Mr. Mullen to see if he can help, but I thought maybe someone here might have had a similar situation and can give some advice while we wait for his reply.
Son passed DODMERB this summer and received letter that he was qualified for USNA, USMMA and USCGA. Yesterday he received a letter saying that he exceeds height/weight standards and needs to have a Body Fat Determination form completed by a physician or other medical personnel. He does not now, nor did he this summer, exceed the standards (in fact, they enclosed a copy of the standards and he is right in there!)
He tried to call Candidate Guidance Office yesterday, when he got home from school, but they close at 4pm. He is going to try again today. Just wondering if anyone else had a problem like this?
It seems like a mistake/typo or something has occurred between DODMERB and USNA Admissions, and it is frustrating because he had his entire package for USNA done weeks ago and now he is not even being looked at by Boards because they must think he is overweight!
Any advice/suggestion would be appreciated!
