There are so many variables depending upon your individual circumstance that it is probably impossible to give an accurate response. I can tell you, however, that my son's DoDMERB website status changed to "Qualified" less than a week after his exam, and that INCLUDED the time it took for us to get a retest for a "protein in urine" issue on the first urinalysis. A very efficient process for us (especially with a helping hand from Mr. Mullen...)
