    We did send medical records but I didn't know anything about writing a rebuttal.

    Waiver process just stops if you're not selected for a Scholarship?

    I just sent an email today to the person in charge of the waiver reviews. It would be a big help to find out if "slight hydronephrosis" is waiverable at all. It stemmed from a surgery he had at age 4. No problems since. I sure hope it's waiverable, and I certainly hope I can find out from...

    Waiver process just stops if you're not selected for a Scholarship?

    Is anyone familiar with this? On the ROTC forum I was told by a couple people that since my son wasn't selected for an AROTC scholarship, the waiver review, which he's waiting for, will be stopped. He was planning on enrolling in AROTC this fall anyway at his own expense, so what could the...

    "I got your name from the Army ROTC NON Selection LIST" say what??

    Steve, you understood my point completely. We believe our Son learned many important life lessons just by applying and being considered a qualified candidate. No regrets there, however, we have noticed a less than systematic manner these offices are run. There's a "hodge podge-yness" to it all...

    "I got your name from the Army ROTC NON Selection LIST" say what??

    I thought the waiver process was automatic since he was a qualified applicant for the scholarship. Since he didn't get offered one, you say the waiver process just ends for now? Should he even begin ROTC while the risk of a NON waiver somewhere down the road is a possibility?

    "I got your name from the Army ROTC NON Selection LIST" say what??

    You always offer an interesting 'take' on topics. Thank you ClarksonArmy. My first thought when reading the email, was it sounded like a crappy spammy type offer. My son didn't apply to this Junior College. Anyway, if his medical waiver comes through before school starts, he will enroll in ROTC...

    Enrollment Deadlines & DoDMERB Waiver

    We're at 2 months since being DQ'd also. I contacted the office in charge of Waiver Reviews and was told they are working as fast as they can, but LDAC waiver requests are being reviewed first.

    "I got your name from the Army ROTC NON Selection LIST" say what??

    Well, my son followed all the rules, completing everything in time for the 1st board. We've waited patiently for board 1, board 2, board 3. No status change, no letter. We assumed like so many others, he wouldn't be receiving the 4yr scholarship, but we held out hope since we didn't have any...

    DoDMERB - Medical Application

    My son is waiting to hear from the waiver review board also. He received the letter at the end of February and was told it could take much longer to find out something. He wants to enroll in AROTC this fall, but doesn't want to begin the program if he's denied in the end. By the way, he was DQ'd...

    We're still waiting to hear something on the waiver, but still hopeful, since it was regarding a surgery at age 4. His plan B is to sign the Housing/Dining contract with his first choice school and enroll in ROTC on campus in the Fall, unless the waiver is officially denied prior to August. He...

    "Pending Waiver Review"... for AROTC Scholarship

    Should have read the "sticky" first I actually just read the "sticky" on Waiver Timeframes at the top of this page and it had some very good information. Does anyone know if it's current?

    "Pending Waiver Review"... for AROTC Scholarship

    He was DQ'd for having hydronephrosis. It's an instant disqualifier, but followed by a remedial which asked for an ultrasound on the kidneys. We did that and had all records sent to DODMERB and his status is now "pending waiver review submission". Our son had corrective surgery at age 4 for a...

    "Pending Waiver Review"... for AROTC Scholarship

    Approximately how long should I expect to wait for a waiver decision? It's been four weeks and I wonder if we should give it another month or not before I call and inquire. College and future plans are dependent upon this decision..Anyone know?

    AROTC Downsizing

    Are the requirements for scholarship tougher for the advantaged group than for the less advantaged group, or are they all equally assessed?

    What should I do?

    I'm getting really annoyed also . I've found CC never to answer the phone nor emails, and the letters sent from them appear to be just stupid. Really, is anyone in charge over there? Does the right hand ever know what the left hand is doing? I am a former Federal worker, and I know this is an...
