Once cleared as "qualified" with a waiver prior to entering AFROTC in college (on scholarship), is that medical clearance good for 4 years of college? Or is it repeated before they have field training (which I believe is between soph and junior year undergrad)?
If it is repeated, do they start from scratch, and revisit every issue they have had since childhood, or only medical updates?
Thanks
 
Others that know more will chime in . . . but I believe the "technical" answer is once you have cleared DoDMERB, you are done with DoDMERB . . but that does not necessarly mean you are done with military medical exams or service medical waiver authority reviews . . . if you get injured. or have a new medical condition or a serious illness develop as a student, your medical condition may need to be re-reviewed. The SA medical team or your ROTC Cadre will be involved with that. Also if you are trying to become a pilot, you will have to pass a "Class 1" medical exam . . . I think there are some other militray career specialties that require a follow-on exam in order to qualify . . . usually these exams take place sometime within or between the second semester of your junior year through reporting to school in the Fall for your senior year.
 
The DODMERB physical is good for 2yrs from the exam date. If you are contracted within the 2YRs you are good to go. If it expires before you contract, you will have to get a new one.

If you are injured after you are qualified, you may need a medical determination to verify that you are still medically qualified.
 
DODMERB exam with an approved waiver from Cadet Command expired before son contracted. Now has to get another DOMERB exam. Question is whether all the AMI (additional medical information) that had been provided will be considered and the earlier waiver provided by Cadet Command will be considered in second DODMERB decision. Any thoughts or anyone experience this before?

AF pilots go through a 2-3 day physical once they are selected to be a pilot

DODMERB has all the info, so they shouldn’t ask for the same info again. Most of the redos I see after a DODMERB expires seem to go pretty quick. Had a Cadet complete a DODMERB and get qualified in two weeks recently.

Thank you for this helpful information. Just waiting now for the medical exam to take place.
 
One more question for Clarksonarmy please: Since DODMERB has all the information -- that would mean they also have a record of the waiver granted by Cadet Command, correct? And since this is for contracting not scholarship now, it would be up to the PMS, not Cadet Command, at the senior service college to request a waiver should that be necessary correct?
