My whole DoDMERB experience has been incredibly complicated and confusing. Just for one example I had to redo a remedial after the healthcare location both took the completely wrong measurements and then never uploaded them. Then I went for a second time and they uploaded the wrong documentation...

I apologize in advance if my title is confusing. I'm not sure how to phrase my question exactly. The situation is that in early 2023 I filled out the DODMERB questionnaires. At the time I had an uncorrected ACL injury (ie no surgery yet). Shortly after I had corrective ACL surgery. It went...

As I was reviewing my application, I noticed that formatting for the free-response questions looks messed up. For the personal essays section each essay is all one huge paragraph (even though in the "non-review"/edit mode there are several distinct paragraphs). For the resume section instead of...

Last year I was accepted to USAFA and would have attended, but unfortunately I tore my ACL and was medically disqualified. I ended up enrolling at a different school and taking a gap year. If you feel you need more info, I think I discuss my situation a bit more in some of my old posts. Last...

Heard back from DoDMERB today. My status is waiting on remedials. It also says I’m pending disqualification for uncorrected ACL injury. Does uncorrected mean not surgically corrected or not 100% resolved? Next there are some remedials I’m supposed to submit. I need to get a 24 hour Holter...

So I just accepted my Plan B civilian school. I am planning to defer my admission there for a variety of reasons. I have accepted a conditional offer from USAFA but I will almost certainly be unable to go for medical reasons (will be DQ'd and my own doctor confirmed I won't be ready for basic)...

I know I am very late on DoDMERB - long story. I’ve already completed my medical exam and everything went great there but I will be DQ’d no matter what for a recent surgery. Nothing uploaded about that in my portal yet. I scheduled an eye appointment earlier but unfortunately that didn’t work...

Today I received my acceptance (on the condition of a passing medical evaluation). I have not submitted any part of DODMERB. Over a month ago I tore my ACL. Around then I talked to a coach at USAFA who informed me that with my injury there was absolutely zero way that I could attend the...

I recently checked my medical records online and saw a diagnosis for kyphosis. I'm not going to get into it, but when I was 12 a specialist said I might've had slight kyphosis (although x-rays showed a healthy spine shape). I almost certainly do not have kyphosis (if I do, it must be extremely...

I have not yet scheduled my dodmerb but I am already concerned about the requirement to remove hard lenses for 21 days before the examination. I have worn hard contact lenses since 5th grade. I own one pair of glasses and I have no idea where they are, they're probably broken, and they're the...

I submitted my USAFA candidate kit around Nov. 15th. Soon after I got an email from USAFA admissions informing me that my name was sent to DoDMERB and I should look out for an email from DoDMERB on how to set up my portal. I've been checking my inbox (spam too) and I've gotten nothing from them...
