Hi dtaavy10, Certainly interested in an action, but not overly optimistic. Now that my son is well under way and thriving in NROTC, I put it in the back of my mind and tend to say the end justifies the means, but what this guy does to families as they navigate DoDMERB is just wrong. Never heard...

New@This - absolutely understand your response....I am sure that there have been good and bad experiences with Merchant. But this is such a critical period of time - right before school starts - tens of thousands of dollars ride on the subtle workings of DoDMERB and hiring an expert to navigate...

One thing I have learned on here among many things is that the folks on this board are very smart....to that end, other than my scorched earth plan to get my family's money back from Merchant, there are probably much more effective ways to get retribution in this case. Any ideas you have would...

After the DQ was administratively lost in space for a couple months, it took 6.5 long weeks. One thing that helped was writing to the DoDMERB branch that notified you and asking for a POC who could be pulsed for status. She advised us of the case number and asked us to ping her after 6-8 weeks...

Count me in too....good start and then dead silence at the most critical time - same MO as JSW1979 above except our waiver is still TBD....right now I have my kid's waiver issue to clear up, but when that gets resolved, I will turn my full attention back to this guy...it sure looks like he is...

Sounds like a breakdown in communication....With us, Dr. Merchant has been very responsive and well-versed in the process...

Not sure why He will do well wherever he goes....it is like the other kids who received a TWE this week - in a lot of cases, these are stellar kids who do everything right got their first rejections and are reacting to that...the truth is that these kids are stars, the best out there, but just...

Will do the research - thanks for the tips!

Brand new here and to this whole process, but the TWE came for son today....tough - he has a 4.1GPA and a 1430SAT, NHS Board, JROTC honors, 2 congressional noms....hard to take > what is MMI? > are there schools that look to TWEs as a source for scholarships? It would seem that the AFA did a...
