SOUND OFF! RA Mail Stalkers/DoD"NERDS"

Found it!

Found where it says qualified "DUH!" at the bottom....is that where we may see a change?:rolleyes:
 
Finally noticed a change, but not sure if it means anything!

I have finally noticed a change to my son's status. Previously it had a line for Status and it said IN PROCESS. Now.... that line is gone. None of the dates have changed, though.

Any ideas on what this means??? (i've pasted it in below)....

Agency: US Coast Guard Academy
Admission Status Change Date: 29-DEC-2009
Current Medical Status: Qualified (as of 25-JAN-10 )


Thanks!

We just checked DoDMERB, and son's "In Process" line is missing too. I have no idea what this means. -officer

Hang on....news is coming soon. I don't know if this particular gyration of the status line really means anything...but my calendar says it's appointment time!!! One year ago today, son got his appt! :biggrin:
 
Thanks to these forums I have become a DOD"nerd", I didn't know you could check your status on DODMERB, last weekend I found out, didn't know password spammed the webmaster and accessed my account, jumping for joy when Merchant Marine said "offer extended". I stalk DODMERB at least everytime i load up the computer, 2 files reviewed and nothing changed I plan on not looking until the 26th(week away). All this talk of appointments scare me into becoming a mailstalker....
 
DoDMERB Office is closed due to inclement weather

Not sure if that is why the status line has been removed on their website - my son's has been removed today from all SA's he has listed - don't think it's likely that all SA's made appointment decisions at the exact same time.
 
Status Line

Appears to be a common fault with other service academy status lines as well. Server must be down with DODMERB. Wishing everyone a great weekend!
 
Change

Well I think the jig is up. We'll just have to stalk the mailmanlady.
See quote from Larry Mullen below. Posted yesterday after following question was posted by skc

"Just an observation. Could it be dodmerb has eliminated the admission status tag line for SA's/ROTC because too many candidates/parents etc use dodmerb to verify admission status. After all dodmerb charge is to determine candidates medical qualifications to serve in the military during and post education.

From L. Mullen
"We are NOT able to eliminate it yet. That said, Admission status should be checked with Admissions at the Academy applicant is applying to".

I spoke with Larry Mullen last night. I had sent him an email regarding the dodmerb page. The page he views is different then the one we see, but he did tell us my son's status is still showing "In Process" on his page.

I copied and pasted the page we see to show him the admission status is gone. He is not sure why it disappeared, but I don't think he's too upset about it.

I think Mr. Mullen and the rest of the staff at dodmerb would love for the admission status to be gone permanently. He informed me that he sent an email to the SA admissions folks to let them know the "admission status" is causing unnecessary grief for everyone. The candidates status should be available on the SA candidate page and not dodmerb.

I hope that clears up a little bit of the confusion. Mr. Mullen and the staff at dodmerb have a huge responsibility with regards to the medical information that needs to be processed, and should not have to deal with the admission status of every candidate.
