Hi, I plan on applying to my schools afrotc program and if that doesn't work out I plan on applying to OCS for the navy or air force i just have to medical problems that could ruin my dream of serving.
I took ADHD meds up until the end of senior year, this is a PDQ and will require me to be off the meds for 15 months to qualify for an air force waiver (navy 12). Ive figured out that my case is pretty mild and coffee should be enough to get me through my classes. I dont need it currently and I work as a math tutor. I'll be majoring in mechanical engineering and over the summer I plan to become certified as an EMT. I graduated my last quarter without meds at a 4.9 GPA. Assuming that works out and I'm med free for 15 months do you think my waiver chances are good?
My other problem was a spinal fracture at my L5 vertebrae (spondylolysis). It healed back in March and I plan to apply for the waiver next August. I have had no pain since March and I plan to apply for the waiver next August. I havent had any surgery or even worn a brace just PT for a month and half before I didnt need it anymore. I actually was told by docs I could continue to play basketball during my healing time. As of right now I'm working out and playing basketball again without any issues, my MRI showed no disk slippage or nerve problems or even inflammation. Do you think my waiver chances are good?
Also how the heck does dodmerb work? The process just looks so confusing and I really want to serve. My parents have been against me trying to enlist or commission since the beginning so everything is kinda up to me. Any advice or help would be incredibly appreciated and thank you all
