I did my medical examinations in August and am now in a waiver process for both asthma and a labrum tear. After sending in documents and pharmacy records while in the remedial phase, I was sent my DQ in early September.
I have not had any symptoms of asthma since I was a really young kid, but...
When I was like 3 I had an inhaler and a doctor said I had asthma, but two others said I had sports induced wheezing, and I had an inhaler for a bit, but after about 6 I didn’t use it any more, until last year, where I got an inhaler for a swim team, but never used it once, and I don’t know if...
For the record I am a sophomore in High School looking to apply to USAFA/USNA (first pick USAFA) and NROTC and AFROTC. I am a Varsity cross country runner, and I also played football and ran track last year. Also for the record my application is looking to be quite competitive. Top 1% of my...
When I was two or three I was diagnosed with asthma by my pediatrician based on family history and a pulse oximetry test. However, I've never had any wheezing or trouble breathing in my life, have never been hospitalized or treated for asthma complications, and cannot remember a time ever using...

So here is the situation: I was last seen for "asthma" approximately one month after my 13th birthday. I already know this will result in a DQ. I have never been prescribed any medication or seen for asthma after that date; however, the word "asthma" still appears in my conditions to this day...
Figured I'd make a post detailing my waiver process to help anyone out there going through the same thing. I was diagnosed with asthma as a toddler and had inhalers prescribed up until I was 16. I never used the inhalers past my 10th birthday but they were still prescribed as a precaution. I...
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...
