I am in AFROTC in Florida and this semester I have been in the process of completing my DODMERB. A week ago I received the results to my DODMERB and it says I was DQ because of an allergy to shellfish. I asked my cadre to submit a waiver for it and this is the result.
Agency: US Air Force CSB
Cycle Year:2017
Current Medical Status:Medical waiver denied
L102: Single Disqualification
Agency: US Air Force CSB
Cycle Year:2017
Code Description
D260.71 Waiver Denied - AFROTC - CSP
D271.40 History of systemic allergic reaction to food or additives
I have been able to perform what I have need to do in class and at PT without any issue, and I have received awards and recognition within my wing . I have only a slight allergy to shellfish, meaning I can be in the present of shellfish without having an issue, I can touch it, I can even eat shellfish in small quantities without any issue. I was given an Epi-pen by my doctor that I have never used. Most of the time I avoid eating shellfish out of personal preference.
I'am planning on visiting my cadre this morning to let them know of the results and I am hoping that this is not in fact the end of my military journey and that there is some alternative option available to me in order to have my waiver approved.
