My daughter is on the cheer team. You can PM me as well! Congratulations on the appointment!

She received notification of medical DQ on 1/23, request for AMI on Feb 8 and notification of a conditional waiver on Feb 28. Conditional waiver required her to show up early on I-Day to be checked by medical team. She had received an LOA in Jan, so once she received the waiver, the official...

DD, current C4C at USAFA, experienced the same lags in portal updates--plus additional wait times with receiving a medical waiver. At the time, it may have made the process a bit more stressful. It definitely tried her patience-and her parents' :). But looking back, it absolutely helped prepare...

My daughter was given a "conditional waiver" for a torn ACL reconstruction within 12 months of applying to USAFA. The waiver clearly stated that she had to pass medical evaluation on I-Day in order to meet the conditions. She was assigned the early in-processing time (7:30am). The evaluation was...

My daughter had ACL reconstruction in May 22, took the DoDMERB exam in November and was DQed, as she knew she would be. The waiver authority requested all of the surgery paperwork/imaging noted above. At that time, she was not fully cleared. Once her surgeon released her to unrestricted...

While it's already been stated that every case is different and every SA looks at each case differently, my daughter (Class of 27 USAFA) had ACL reconstruction in May 2022. She returned to her sport that fall (with some restrictions), and multiple sports by spring 2023. She received an LOA, was...

The "unicorn" LOA did end up happening for my daughter last October, She was not a D1 recruited athlete (though highly athletic) and was above average in most categories in terms of academics, community service and leadership. Her test scores were strong, though not top 10%. Basically, she was...

My daughter (USAFA '27) went through the waiver process and was asked to submit a few rounds of remedial info. The time frame for replies varied from days to weeks, and her portal did not always change immediately. Was a little nerve-wracking, but looking back-it sure helped prepare her (and us)...

My daughter and a high school classmate both received appointments to USAFA Class of 27, and another classmate is attending MIT on a ROTC Scholarship. High school class size of 130. None are recruited athletes.

No insult taken! She’s been doing CrossFit, school track and physical therapy. Her ALO made the same point you did about the importance of physical fitness. Thx for the encouraging words!

Hoping good news is on the way for you!

Yes, she submitted treating physician’s records as AMI. She also just received an email from admissions that says: Your medical examination has been received by USAFA. The result of the current evaluation is Qualified. A Qualified medical status shows that you have met all medical fitness...

My DD, who has an LOA, was medically DQed for ACL Reconstruction in the last 12 months in mid January. She received a request to submit AMI, which she did two weeks ago. Yesterday, she received an email from Air Force Recruiting Service (AETC) with a Randolph TX address that states: "Your case...
