Hi forums,
I'm a 4yr AFROTC scholarship awardee who's dodmerb dq'd for juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. I was wondering if this is an automatic DQ with absolutely no waivers?

The problem is completely confined to my jaw, and I am in remission with no symptoms of JRA (I have a doctors note for this).

Will they even consider the documentation I provided regarding how minor of an issue this is? Or is it just black and white, no possible waiver?

Thanks in advance, even if the news isn't what I want to hear.
 
Waivers are case by case. You just need to go through the process and hope for the best.
 
Thank you. I'm slightly confused though, because I've seen posts saying "x is a DQ with no possible waivers." So any condition will receive at least consideration for a waiver?
 
Some conditions are never/almost never waived (e.g., diabetes). I suggest you contact the medical folks at AFROTC and ask them whether this condition is potentially waiverable.

Suuuuper late response I know, but regarding your comment, how do I contact the AFROTC medical folks? I've looked online for a contact for them but I'm not sure if I'm looking right. Thanks
 
Since you are already a recipient of the scholarship usually they will immediately send you for a waiver. I would contact Maxwell AFB and ask them for the contact number.
 
This may be a dumb question, but should I just look up the Maxwell AFB email online, and shoot them a message asking for contact info for the waiver authority?

Thanks
