    Hypothyroidism

    If you're going through DoDMERB (which I assume you are) hypothyroidism controlled by medication isn't a disqualification. If you are off medication it is a disqualification. I just went through this and hypo isn't a problem but hyper is.

    Waiver Help

    Hey guys =) I have a question hopefully somebody can answer. Idk if it applies but I'm doing NROTC. So! I've been chatting with the LT that I'm transferred to when I call the helpline for NROTC. He informed me my waiver request had been sent to BUMED and that they advised for it not to be...

    Automatic waiver request

    In my opinion the more letters you have from doctors saying that you aren't limited physically/mentally from anything the better off you are. Also, I just called the waiver authorities for NROTC asking about my waiver conditions and they hadn't even looked at my file yet but since I called...

    Automatic waiver request

    I got dq'ed back in early April and am still waiting patiently... Waiver decisions take time and it depends on how many others are looking for waivers at this point in time from that certain branch

    DODMERB Physical Question

    I honestly wouldn't worry. The doctors job in examining you isn't to go over your whole medical history. They read everything that you filled out online, and if they have any questions they ask. You probably just explained yourself enough in all the paperwork they didn't have any questions...

    Medical Review Time Line

    My file was reviewed/decision made after 2 days of my medical data entry. But the DoDMERB people want to make sure they review your case fully and to the best of their ability so I wouldn't worry too much... You can always e-mail the help desk folks. They are pretty nice and quickly respond =)

    What now?

    On your DoDMETS website does it say that DoDMERB has received your records? Or does it say "Complete"? It took about a week for my status to update of DoDMERB receiving my files after my medical exam was sent in.

    Easiest Way to Send Medical Forms

    Hey everyone =) I have a quick question, I got dq'ed for DoDMERB so I'm having the fun time of gathering medical record stuff explaining that I don't have any of my medical problems anymore and I was wondering what was the easiest/most convenient way to send my records to DoDMERB for the people...

    DoDMERB Optical exam question

    I didn't bring mine and my eye doc didn't ask for them. I brought my glasses, contacts, and my prescriptions for both. The doc said bringing the prescription made it easier to see where my eyes were and where they are now (my eyesight had actually gotten a whole lot better). They do all their...

    Waiver Help

    If I wrote a letter to DoDMERB about my medical dq would it help me get a waiver or would the people not even look at it since I'm not a doctor?

    Asthma Question

    Hey you guys. I had childhood Asthma, which I outgrew by age 10. Do I need to say "Yes, I have had asthma" on my DoDMERB exam information? I'm filling out the form and I want to make sure that they realize I do not have asthma anymore, there's not really a box to check for that.
