    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.

    USMA Asthma

    Hi, I was wondering how Asthma affects the admissions process. Will it hold me back? Do they have different policies if it was a childhood issue? Is exercise induced Asthma handled differently? Thanks, Tony

    Possible Asthma DQ?

    So I have a question regarding a possible asthma and allergies DQ. When I was 6 years old until shortly after I turned 9 years old, I saw an allergy-immunologist who initially diagnosed me with allergic rhinitis and intrinsic asthma. During the ages mentioned, I was taking an inhaled steroid for...

    Waiver Situation: Is It Futile?

    Hey there, I'm posting to discuss my current situation with DoDMERB as I am an applicant to USMA, USNA, USAFA, and AROTC. I am most interested in attending Clemson University on my 4-year Army Scholarship. I will start from the very beginning; it will take a moment to get to my points, but all...

    My son has asthma listed several times, always when he had a respiratory infection. We had a full PFT and passed with flying colors. Pulmonologist stated in report unlikely to have or had asthma. The DoDMETs examining Doc put asymptomatic for asthma on the report. Will the DoDMERB accept that...

    Wavier Denial Issue

    Hello, I have been fighting with DODMERB for over a year now for having asthma listed in my medical records. The problem is that I was never really dependent on any medication (even though I was prescribed some), and I have had a pulmonologist write me a letter saying so. I have taken several...

    Asthma disqualification for AFROTC?

    I do not have asthma. But I had bronchitis a few times when I was younger and was prescribed 3 inhalers for that from 8-14. Never diagnosed with asthma, just given inhalers to clear up some congestion. My recruiter said since they were just inhalers, it shouldn't be a problem. But recently, I...

    Confusing Asthma story, DoDMERB and MEPS

    Hey all, I'm new to this forum but I think it's safe to say I've read EVERY post on here about asthma waivers and what to do. My story is kind of odd so I'm hoping I can get some of you to weigh in on it since I'm not sure where to go from here. In short, I graduated from Penn State in May. I...

    Should we Test for Asthma or Wait ?

    My son has started the process of applying to the academies. He has worked very hard to achieve a high percentage of the required skills/scores etc. We recently took him to the Dr. for a simple toe injury (not the reason for this post) and were shocked when the Dr. (new Dr. never seen before)...
