Thank you for your advice Kinnem! He was aware of his limited options after diagnosis day, and came up with a plan B, but the disappointment on his face was all too evident. He had perfect health until the DoDMERB, had no issues whatsoever, but then the pain started all of a sudden.

And I did see that it is disqualifying, but I don't know if there is a possibility for a waiver.

Hmmm, his rheumatologist told me that false positives happen all the time, but because he has all the symptoms (swelling, pain, morning stiffness) every day since July and he has tested positive, she has no doubt that he has RA. He has been prescribed medicine for it.

Thank you. It is a definite diagnosis, for he tested positive for the rheumtoid factor and experiences morning stiffness and joint pain.

Also, I want to mention that my DS already has an NROTC scholarship. The symptoms started after he had already passed the DoDMERB.

Hello, this is my first post ever, and I'm excited to join the community! Now for a downer...Is it possible to get a waiver for rheumatoid arthritis? I can't find the answer online. It is a very mild case that is easy to push through.
