First of all, if this is what you really want to do, don't give up. Second, see if someone in your congressional office will help you out. My sons chances four weeks ago were 0-none to get in (He applied to all SAs and the NROTC). Medically qualified and then DQd for diplopia.(Talk about a...

I read your post and completely understand what you are going through. At the beginning of this whole process my son was qualified and then disqualified. After several doctors visits and submissions to DODMERB he was put into the waiver process. After a medical waiver denial from WP, I was able...

Thank you for this post! This clears up the muddy waters quite a bit! We are in the same boat with USMA, USNA and MOCs.

Ok. So if you have a DQ, and the Academy wants to give you an appointment then they request a waiver. If your waiver is granted, then the SA gives you the appointment. The reason I ask is because my son spoke to some of the admissions folks and he told me they said what I had posted in my...

Apologize if this has been asked before. I researched it and did not find a previous response... A SA will not request a waiver unless they offer an appointment first, correct?

That's pretty cool you offer the tix! Scout dad here of 2.5 Eagle Scouts! We will be at the Tulane/Navy Game this weekend in NOLA!

To all the parents out there, stay strong and don't give up! This is one crazy ride! I know the folks at DODMERB and the SAs are working hard to put classes together every year! Kudos to y'all. I wish though that the email to my son would be better than, You're DQd (paraphrasing), Have a Good...

Now its says DNMMS.......definitely getting another opinion from a MD!

Not to lessen your frustration or what you are going through, but we went from Qualified (YES QUALIFIED WE HAVE THE LETTER) to DQ and now Pending Waiver Review/Submission. It must have been the nationwide text from the President!!! Sorry have to laugh! :laugh:

I have been reading several posts about kids and parents having all these issues and feeling bad for them. My son goes from Q to DNMMS and I'm wondering WTHeck! IYO is this close to the end of the road? We'll still stay in the process but put it on the backburner. I hate it, cause he's worked...

So this morning, he looks at DODMERB and says Does Not Meet Medical Standards...... From Qualified to Remedial requested to Under DODMERB Review to Does Not Meet Medical Standards.....Who knows!

The way the Dr. described it is brief diplopia on the left gaze followed by suppression. His left eye has difficulty turning outward. DODMERB has changed to remedial requested. Docs submitted. We shall see.

Yes. Depth perception screening. Remedial requested only by WP. How may this affect him? it still shows him as Q.

No. My son has never had any issues.

Question, Son has 20/15 in both eyes Fail Tropia ESO 11 Pass Vivid Red Green Fail Red lens (Diplopia Supression) Left Gaze No glasses No contacts DODMERB says Q remedial required for WP Not sure how what to think of this.

DS received his Qualified on 08/24/18.

My son enjoyed SS1 very much although he left Boys State terribly sick(bad fish). First thing he said at the airport when he got home was he missed his squad. Good sign. He's pretty excited about the process and really enjoyed the experience at USNA. He's about 80% done with the application and...

Hello to all. First post ever on the site, just joined today. Very informative site I must say. DS received his candidate package about three weeks ago and is currently at NASS enjoying himself. He completed the CFA today and is looking forward to the rest of the week. We have been involved in...
