Hello, I’m aware a bible is allowed for BCT, but I also keep a journal with me to write notes from what I read/reflect on the day. Is this allowed, or will it be taken away? Thank you!

Is there a limit to how many clubs you can be apart of? I'm really interested in the Wings of Blue, but also the Battlefield Airmen (Special Warfare) club. Thank you!

It starts with the attitude, like justdoit19 said. Never quit! Being caught up with the idea that you might fail can really cause you to do worse than what you're capable of. You certainly still have a good shot, it's what you make of it. There was a former marine that gave me some advice for...

That makes more sense, thanks for the correction!

https://www.academyadmissions.com/requirements/medical/standards/ They only post maximum weight standards. For 6', it's 184 lbs. I also read somewhere that the minimum weight is 91 lbs. Either way, you're well within the standards from what I can see, so I wouldn't worry about it.

Will do. Do you know what your optometrist did for the measurement? I'm unsure how to explain to my optometrist what information he needs to fill in for that section.

I checked my portal today and the "view decision" is gone too? Except I haven't submitted my DODMERB yet (though I'm nearly done with examinations). Not sure what this means Edit: Nomination was also received, so maybe the "view decision" tab disappeared because my portal updated?

Will do, best of luck!

I recently had my eye exam and there weren't any issues! However, the doctor didn't fill out "24. PC in mm" (because he wasn't sure what that was— he was a Korean optometrist). Some other sub-parts were left blank, but 95% of the form is complete. Would this be an issue with DoDMERB, even if...

Hey! Another applicant in the process. Disclaimer, I'm no expert, so take this with a grain of salt. Firstly, regarding the appointment dates— I haven't been able to get in contact w/ DoDMERB until recently, so I also have my examination pretty "late" (in a few weeks). From what I've read, the...

Good news, I've been able to contact a technician and received the initial forms + examination files!

Yes, I've emailed them twice and called several times— I never received a response or had someone pick up.

Hello everyone, I recently received an LOA to USAFA and all that's left in my application is the medical examination process. I am an overseas applicant in South Korea (non-military) and was never contacted by the DoDMERB. Over the past two months, I've tried to contact both their email and...

Thanks for making this thread! I appear to be missing something, what's on Friday?
