Last year there was an opening session that students and parents (grandparents) could attend before their host plebe for the weekend picked them up and took them back to Bancroft Hall. It was a basic informational meeting led by the Admissons staff. It was not mandatory for parents as most...

Besides the references required from a math and english teacher is there any value in sending additional references from 'key' people? The admissions department says no additional references are required but are they useful? Any advice would be helpful.

My son uses a retainer at night as prescribed by his orthodontist. Can plebes use take their retainers at night during plebe summer? Do they have to report their use prior to I-Day?

Our son has been DoDMERB Qualified. He is getting his wisdom teeth taken out this week. Does he have to report this to DoDMERB?

We had a similar DQ. We sent in all the documentation requested and an explanatory letter from our MD and the DQ was waived.

Follow up question The DoDMERB site states: "Correspondence - DD2368: Status Letter: 10/18/2006" What does the designation "DD2368" stand for? Thanks.

Yipee!! It took two weeks of waiting, but DoDMERB posted a QUALIFIED on the website. What a relief. Thanks for your help. We followed your advice of letters and calls to rebutt their initial findings and his wheeze after 13 was justifiably explained with no waiver needed. Thanks.

Our son's DoDMERB status changed from "Pending Waiver Submission/Review" to "Application Under DoDMERB Review". Is that an indication that the waiver committee has made a decision? Or further tests will be requested? The disqualification was: D241.30 - Asthma/reactive airway...

We have written a rebuttal to DoDMERB. Where do we find out if a waver is granted? Is it on the same DoDMERB site? Does it come in the mail? FEFC

Interpretation RetNavyHM: We received this information today. Our son had one case of wheezing at 13 yrs old due to bronchitis. Is this a show stopper? Current Medical Status: Pending Waiver Submission/Review R250.10 - Pending waiver review by USNA R252.10 - DD Form 2382, Statement...

Quick turnarounds We have had similar quick turnarounds by DodMERBthis past month, but 3 hours? That must be a record. Congrats!

Thanks Thanks. We can't imagine navigating this process without the great resource you have been.

Doc: This is probably routine but they sent the results with the paragraph stating: "Please do NOT Complete the additional tests, evaluations, or requests for additional information (codes that begin with "R") unless directed to do so by DoDMERB. If a medical waiver is granted, DoDMERB...

Update Before the ink was dry on my first posting I checked on the https://dodmerb.tricare.osd.mil/ site and the results were there. This is what they said: Current Medical Status: Remedial Requested R251.23 - Birth-to-present medical health records R252.10 - DD Form 2382, Statement of...

We are awaiting our son’s DODmerb results and are not sure where to find them. On the dodmets.com site it says “Date of Submitted to DODMERB - Case Closed 8/1/06”. Does that mean all our paper work is in? On the https://dodmerb.tricare.osd.mil/ site it says it has not yet received our...
