I am hoping someone has experience in this area and can offer some clarification.
DS has been awarded a 4 yr AROTC scholarship and is awaiting DoDMERB paperwork. I found in the medical standards information the following statement of a disqualifying condition:
Absence of one or both testicles, congenital (752.89) or undescended (752.51)
What if there is the absence of a testicle which is neither congenital or undescended? DS had one surgically removed at age 3yo due to a torsion. No residual problems, implant placed after puberty.
Does this still fall into a DQ situation?
Any experience in this area would be greatly appreciated! I have already gathered the records from the surgeon and urologist so that we are prepared in the event they are requested.
