    Laser Eye Surgery for Current AROTC Cadets

    He has been told that he will more than likely be chosen to attend airborne school this summer - and if so, he’d obviously like to have it done before going. He also would rather have it done before the summer of his MS4 year. Again, I’m just asking if anyone knows for a fact that it is permitted.

    Laser Eye Surgery for Current AROTC Cadets

    My DS is currently an MS2 (contracted) and would like to get Laser Eye Surgery this Spring Break or at some point this summer. He’s telling me that it is permitted because others in his battalion have had the procedure done in the past. Does anyone have any knowledge on this subject?

    Remedial requested med records but there are none

    There is no harm in calling simply to confirm that it has definitely been received in. You will then most likely get the standard answer..."it can take up to 30 days to render a decision."

    Status Complete-Hold

    The DoDMETS "Complete-Hold" usually means that the applicant has finished his/her exams, however when DoDMETS (Concorde) was reviewing the file before sending the results over to DoDMERB, there is a piece of information missing on one of the exams. My DS had this happen - in our case the eye...

    Timeframe Question

    Thank you for the reply. If DS's docs were all sent from Concorde to DodMERB on/or around Jan. 15th, we will start looking for a DoDMERB portal change at the end of the month.

    Timeframe Question

    DS was awarded a 4-year AROTC Scholarship, he finished up all his exams earlier this week (he did not apply for any SA's which is why he just completed his exams), and his DoDMETS/Concorde portal now states that his medical documents were received by DoDMERB (which I was told indicates that...

    What if doc doesn't complete initial exam paperwork?

    DS's Concorde Status went from "Complete" to "Complete-hold", which of course prompted a phone call from me. Concorde told me that the eye doctor did not answer one of the questions on the Opto exam. She told me that this was quite common, and that one of their case workers was going to call the...

    First Board Results

    Stemmom is correct. Log onto the application - go to the file upload tab - look for a "Winner Letter with your last name and last 4 of SS#"...DS's was uploaded as a faxed document on Dec. 17th.

    First Board Results

    Wisbang35 - I am assuming that in all likelihood all the letters to the first board winners probably went out around the same day....with that said, what is the date that your son has to send his acceptance back to Cadet Command? Thanks.

    First Board Results

    My DS has not yet received his letter. He's expecting it any day, but like I said previously...it'll get here sooner or later.

    AROTC STATS

    Impressive stats. What about leadership positions? Captain of any varsity team? Club leadership positions? Also, what were your top school choices? School choices may have played a role for the first board.

    Army 4 Year Winner...Next Step?

    To jump on what kinnem and soccmomer have said....if you were awarded a 4-year AROTC scholarship from the first board your application portal has already been updated to "winner". My DS has been told by both his 1st and 2nd choice schools that the next thing that will happen is that he will...
