Hello all.

Got my TWE today. I have opened three applications, and I have always put up a super competitive packet. However, DoDMERB and USMA's waivers have always been the obstacle I couldn't overcome every single year. I still have the heart and drive to reapply, however, how do I go about this? Should I appeal this (one of my ROTC cadres members have actually done this for an academy), or should I work with the waiver authority more closely this next and probably last cycle? Or all these just plain stupid ideas. Anything helps and thanks in advance!
 
I apologize for the horrific grammar and typos everyone. Midterms have not been treating me well...
 
Are you in ROTC? Are you able to pass the ROTC medical exam/DoDMERB? Are you running against the age limit?
Are you a sophomore in college now?
You could be an officer in two years. If the waiver is the issue--for more than one year.
I do not wish to discourage your from fulfilling your dream--you have worked hard for it--but if the dream is to become an Army officer and serve the Nation--you might look at that by itself.
Maybe a list of pros and cons.
 
There is a company you can call regarding help with dodmerb and getting advice on waivers, it is a paid service but I think the guy there would be able to tell what your chances for a waiver are. I will try and look up the name/number and post here. Not sure if it will allow me to post but it is dodmerb consultants if you want to google it?

Do you have a waiver from ROTC? If the medical is the only issue with USMA, I don't think (my opinion, get a professional one) they are going to waive the issue just because you submit another waiver. Has the condition changed or is time a factor in the condition? (Don't post the condition, those are hypothetical questions).

If ROTC will waive it, that may be your chance to commission.
