Question for DODMERB - Candidate was tested at 10yrs old and showed 'positive' for TB. He did the required 6 months of medicine and was cleared. It is now on his record. Will he need a WAIVER for a Service Academy ? No big deal, right ??? hope so.

What's the status now in 2012 with academic accommodations ?? ...if the student has not used or needed the extra test time for the past year prior to their submission of a service academy application??? Can they receive a medical waiver ? Is it difficult?
