    One DODMERB used across Academies?

    My DS had his DODMERB for his USAFA application. It does not appear that the results were sent to the USNA. Does DS have to wait for paperwork on a 2nd DODMERB specific to his Naval application? If not, how does he ensure that the results are sent to the USNA? Thank you in advance!
