During this time last year, I had to request waivers for a couple of conditions. The process was quite long, but I found that being proactive through email and over the phone helped push the waiver requests along. On multiple instances my paperwork was lost or hung up, and talking to people was...

To answer your question, I did receive the appointment to USNA and the 4 year NROTC Scholarship. My process was as follows: Original medical questionnaire> remedial AMI requesting more info> I sent more info> official DQ> waiver request sent to USNA(by DODMERB)> USNA requested me to take...

I was requested to take the methacholine challenge as a remedial in my DoDMERB portal. USNA requested the challenge a couple weeks after the official disqualification from DoDMERB. I was able to get it scheduled through DoDMERB's contractor shortly after it was requested.

I was DQ'd in mid-January. My waiver was granted last week, at the end of April.

It sounds like it shouldn't be an issue, however I would recommend doing all of the requested testing/etc as soon as you can just in case!

I'm posting this to hopefully help out some people out there seeking a waiver for asthma to either USNA or NROTC. After several month long process and much correspondence with USNA and DoDMERB, my waiver for asthma after the age of 13 (D241.30) was granted for both. Initially, I was given a...

I recommend calling your DD's Concorde rep and scheduling it through them so that you do not have to pay for it as it is quite expensive. If you must schedule it yourself, you could probably just call the lab or reception.

If you're still looking, I had mine done at Wellstar Spalding Regional Medical Center in Griffin, Georgia. Nobody in my state was able to perform the test, so it was a 5 hour drive for me. Probably would be a few hours more for you depending on what part of NC you live. The test itself was very...

I believe this has happened to me as well. Do you mean the box that was directly below the correspondence log, which had links to your PDF letters and such?

Hello, I am a candidate for the US Naval Academy with a conditional offer of appointment(LOA). Quite a while ago, I sent in my initial medical exam, and was then requested to send several remedials, which I promptly submitted. Several weeks later, I was medically disqualified for asthma after...

I am a candidate for USNA, currently I have recieved LOA and I am pending a medical waiver. My question is in regards to USNA's policy on second semester senior year grades. I am currently in 6 AP classes, and as AP exams are approaching, the coursework for each class is ramping up. I expect to...

I couldn't tell you exactly, but its been years. I was prescribed an inhaler(I believe as a precautionary measure) for a long time but I never used it.

Hello, I am a candidate for USNA with a conditional offer of appointment(LOA). I am currently working through the medical process, and I had a couple questions. Several weeks ago, DoDMERB requested 4-5 remedial AMI's for different medical conditions and such, and upon checking my portal today...

I received the call from my officer earlier today. Let me know if anyone is planning to use their scholarship at BU (they offer a full r&b grant to NROTC scholarship recipients)!

Congratulations on your scholarship! I was also on the early board. I am still waiting to hear back about anything, and both my recruiter and officer have been very hush-hush. My stats are as follows, for anyone curious: -4.34 GPA, 33 ACT. Rank 16/385. 10 AP courses. -300 PFT (24 pullups, 115...

I am a rising senior and I am beginning my application for the Marine Option NROTC Scholarship. I am having trouble finding anywhere online the deadline for my application to reviewed on the early board. Does anyone know the application deadline for the early board or where I could find this...

It may also be worth noting that in my most recent test, I came back as negative for the allergy on the skin prick test, but too high in my blood test for the allergist to be comfortable doing a food challenge(where I sit and eat the seeds for several hours under monitored conditions). However...

Ah, my apologies. They said that as a child, I was constantly sick, so they brought me to allergist who decided to test many different common ingredients and substances at once to see if any of them could have been the problem. Sesame seed happened to be on that list, and my results came back...

It was something my parents signed me up for a few years ago.

I am currently a junior in high school, planning to apply for a Naval Academy appointment. According to a blood test by a local allergy doctor, I have an allergy to sesame seeds. I have eaten sesame seeds many times in the past with no issues. I have spoken to my recruiter about this but the...
