Hello,
I have a few quick questions regarding the waiver process. Recently, I was disqualified due to having a history of mental anxiety. I am currently trying to get approved for AROTC. Just so you all know where I'm coming from, here's a brief history: went through some depressing times when I was young (eight to ten years old) due to my parents getting divorced. In time, I developed a very mild form of OCD. All symptoms of OCD were resolved shortly thereafter (around 11 years of age) and I have not had any symptoms since then. Went on Prozac when I was young and stopped taking it in early 2008. I have also stopped regularly seeing my doctor since then as well.
DoDMERB requested all of my inpatient and outpatient records, doctors notes, etc. as a remedial. I submitted this to them through my admissions officer and got word that I was DQ'd shortly thereafter.
I'm in the process of having my physician write a letter of recommendation stating that all symptoms of "mental anxiety" are no longer prevalent, which is true. I'm going to write a letter as well. What are my odds of getting a waiver? What should he and I include in our letters?
Thank you very much for your time,
Michael
