    Another Remedial Question

    Thank you so very much! This takes a lot of stress of her (and me, too!). Her last remedial test was on December 6, and was "processed" on the same day I made the phone call to DODMERB to check on the status of the results(today, January 9). So now, I have to wait for info to get to...

    Another Remedial Question

    My DD completed a test for remedial. Now, they want another 2 tests done, so more remedial testing. Happy to do it, but must results be processed by Academy deadline at the end of this month? This might be out of our control.

    Remedial Question

    DD had remedial...test was performed and submitted about one month ago. Dodmets website indicates case is closed, but it doesn't say whether or not she was DQ'd. Will they contact us by mail? Where does this info appear on the webpage? Thank you!

    Maybe Senator Brown is sending out the letters to those who receive noms before Christmas and those that didn't get a nom will get the bad news after Christmas. :biggrin:

    Ohio Nominations

    I believe when the original application was completed by my DD, she had to list the order of preference for academies. She only listed one, USNA, so this didn't really pertain to her. In the letter informing her that she had an interview with the Congressman, Rep Joyce's office asked that she...

    Currently DD has recently taken a remedial spirometry test and is waiting for the results from DODMETS. So, no LOA. :thumbdown:

    DD already had interview with Brown's committee and Portman's committee. Like you, she has interview with Joyce's committee on December 6. Good luck with your meeting with Portman's committee - if it's the same group, DD found them very receptive and engaging. She enjoyed the interview with...

    Asthma

    Something similar happened to my daughter. She had an inhaler prescribed to her when she was 15 - after practicing volleyball in a gym where the floors were just sanded. Doc prescribe the inhaler as a "precaution" - to carry just in case. Well, knowing what I know now, I'd never have agreed...

    Another DQ Question

    Update My daughter had her DODMERB physical late October. She had to wait until Volleyball season was over to have it done because she couldn't be without her contact lenses for 3 days as required by DODMERB. She answered all questions about being prescribed an inhaler honestly and just...

    Another DQ Question

    Thanks for all the help! I think we've figured it out... and will wait and see what happens. DD is very discouraged, down but not out, especially after reading all this information. She's not giving up... but is realistic and has started focusing more on Plans B and C. :frown: This weekend...

    Another DQ Question

    OK, I just spoke with my DD's pediatrician and received information regarding the following questions that I was concerned about: Ever had asthma or wheezing?: Doc said DD was never officially diagnosed with asthma. In her notes, she states she was concerned with the possibility of exercise...

    Another DQ Question

    Thank you! I will contact the pediatrician tomorrow and ask some specific questions. Then, once I receive answers, I will definitely make sure my daughter is on the same page as her doctor. I think it's important to be honest. Lying would only set my child up for failure and it's not worth...

    Another DQ Question

    Thank you - She is applying for the USNA. I will contact her pediatrician tomorrow and see what exactly is in her medical records. I have never heard the words "your daughter has asthma" come out of her doctor's mouth. In fact, I don't believe the Dr. has even mentioned asthma. But...
