Hey everyone,
Just did my physical exam for the dodmerb (for ROTC) today and it was different than expected. After the hearing test I waited over an hour for the doctor to see me, and the exam lasted 10 minutes max. All he did was check my throat, ears, check for hernias, and had me touch my toes. Then he went over the things I marked 'yes' for and just nodded. He asked if I have been physical active to which I said yes, he said 'Okay well you seem to be in good physical shape' and then left.
I was under the assumption that this was a comprehensive exam where I had to take a urine test and everything. I'm looking through the packet from the website and seems like he didn't do nearly half the things he was supposed to do. Would this affect my application? I don't even understand what he would put down for some of the steps.
Also, does this doctor determine my eligibility or will my medical history still be reviewed by someone from the DoD?
Thanks
