    Conditional Appointment

    kp2001: I do understand what you're saying, it is a risk and I wouldn't try and lie and say that possibility doesn't exist. Two things though. 1) My stones have always been very small, the two that I had before passed in less than a day with increased fluids. Am I saying that they could not...

    Conditional Appointment

    Hello everyone, I received an appointment from KP a couple weeks ago contingent upon gaining medical qualification. I had two kidney stones 5 and 6 years ago which dq'd me and USMMA put me in for a waiver to BuMED, but they requested additional information (a nephrologist [kidney doctor]...

    Waiver Denied

    I appreciate it, but I think everyone needs to realize that there is never any way to be sure that nothing will happen to you. Perfectly healthy mids that have never had back pain could do something at the academy, hurt their back, and be dismissed just the same as someone like me. All I can...

    Waiver Denied

    We are in total agreement on this one. I really wish it was still done how it used to be where the medical qualification was decided by NAVY doctors at the NAVAL academy and not some board who reads and denies without EVER SEEING. Mr. Mullen has been helpful in explaining why I was...

    Waiver Denied

    I've consulted a nephrologist and his findings were that my chances of having another stone were next to none. The 5-6 year ago me is NOT the today me. My lifestyle habits preclude me to being at a very very low risk of a stone, about the same as any other person. That is what I was told by...

    Waiver Denied

    We've spoken several times, I did the extra tests and they all showed total normality...soooo I'm confused about how normal "does not meet medical standards."

    Waiver Denied

    I just logged on to my DoDMERB account and saw that my USNA waiver was denied. I was disqualified for renal calculus (history of kidney stones), history of head injury (concussion), and weak or painful back. Can someone...anyone explain this to me because I have yet to get a satisfactory...

    Leaving

    I know you've said that you made your decision, but it may be a bit rash. Think about it from every angle. Think about if you did stay and looked back at this time and said "phew, glad I didn't make that mistake." Or think about if you do quit and later look back all your life and say "man, I...

    Multiple Condidtions

    I see most people that are granted waivers tend to only have one condition. Is it a really bad thing to have multiple conditions to be waived?

    Effect of waiver on appointment

    Same question on that Then also, if it is possible for you to be waiting for a waiver past the time where there are still available appointments, is there any way I can find out where my waiver is in the process or (and I know that no one knows but) HOW LONG. I've been waiting on this waiver...

    Effect of waiver on appointment

    Yeah I know that no one really knows or can say anything about that like you said, but I've been "pending waiver submission/review" now for several months. This begs the new question: Have they not looked at my waiver file yet or are they passing it over for maybe more "easily waiverable...

    Effect of waiver on appointment

    Yeah that's basically what I'm asking Goat. It sounds like we have a problem here, having to wait for the waiver before being put into the general pool (which hopefully isn't too late). So then my questions would be: who is reviewing my waiver consideration? When/how will they let me know...

    Effect of waiver on appointment

    Goat, I still don't know either, maybe we are asking this wrong, but I do know from emailing my RD that the processes are done separately. But just like you say, I wanna know when the board is sitting together and looking over our applications, is the fact that I am medically disqualified...

    Effect of waiver on appointment

    Goat, I do know that the appointment process and the waiver process are done separately, but yeah like you I want to know, for instance, if the board sees that you need a waiver before or after they get serious about considering you for appointment. Any information would be GREATLY...

    Effect of waiver on appointment

    OK, so as of right now I fall under the waiting desperately, camping out at mailbox, going totally insane group of current candidates. I've been told I have a strong application and I believe I am quite competitive for appointment based on these forums and my own research. THE ONLY THING...
