Did DoDMERB, attending USCGA.
In the last four weeks, I sprained my ankle. I went to the doctor's for an X-ray to make sure nothing was broken. It was diagnosed as a Grade 1 sprain and I'll be good by time Swab Summer comes around.
In addition, I had bald spots occur on my head. My primary doctor diagnosed it as tinea capitus and prescribed antifungal medicine. However, he sent me to a specialist who re-diagnosed it as folliculitis. He told me to stop taking the antifungal medicine and prescribed me antibiotics. The hair and bumps on my head will be all recovered by time I leave for the academy. All that will be left is minor scarring.
I read my appointment packet and it states that I must report any changes in my DoDMERB, IF IT MAY DISQUALIFY ME. Do I still report a sprained ankle and skin infection if either are DQ's by the Coast Guard and will be healed by time I get there? What do I say once I get there?
