disqualification

I broke my elbow when I was 2 years old and I am just now seeing that any type of elbow fracture is disqualifying. However my elbow has been perfectly fine for 16 years. I have not received my results of my medical examination yet, however, what are the chances this disqualifies me? D225.50...

Hello! I am currently going through the DODMERB process for AFROTC. I recently had knee surgery to remove a plica (which is synovial tissue- NOT a tendon). After turning in the remedials for my knee, I was told I was disqualified for recurrent tendon disorder. I did not have anything done to...

I was DQ'ed on the 25th, and my applicant page say Waiver Pending Waiver Submission/Review. But on my West Point portal still just says Remedial (Jan. 16, 2019). How long will it take for West Point to get my DQ? Also, I believe there to be an error with DoDMerb because on my applicant page the...

Hello, I'm in a bit of a unique situation and am really clueless when it comes to this but I has a single disqualification on my DoDMERB because I have ADHD. However, I take a prescription that basically makes me perfectly normal and my ADHD does not effect me. The situation is that I'm in...

I've recently been awarded an AFROTC type 2 4-year scholarship. This month is the 24th month that I've been taking ADD medication (so if I discontinue the medication prescription for next month, I'll be eligible for an ADHD waiver). I'm valedictorian of my high school, and I had straight A's...

I was labeled as disqualified by DODMERB on February 13, 2018 for past sleep paralysis. I was never officially diagnosed but showed symptoms in the fall of 2016. I still have not heard if a waiver will be requested on my behalf by USMA or USNA. Will I be notified if either party does not plan...

I had an over-the-phone interview with a recruiter for the AF National Guard and I said yes to having taken medication, and he said it was a disqualifying factor. He continued with if I want to move forward, then we will, or I can think about it and call back. He also said I would have to...

I wanted to post this for other people who end up in my position... When I was 5 mo. old I had a kidney taken out, I haven't had any problems concerning having one kidney before. Turns out having one Kidney disqualifies you from enlistment or from going to any academy. I couldn't find any info...

I just received a letter saying my DODMERB medical exam was disqualified because of a history of adjustment disorder. I am very shocked because I have never had any mental health problems and there is no record of any mental health problems on my file. I have been told that there is a waiver...

I have never been diagnosed with any type of irregularity or heart trouble before and I went to my DoDMERB today and the doctor said I had a slight heart murmur. I am freaking out because in my recent previous sports physicals I have not been diagnosed with a heart murmur and I have never felt...

My son today was disqualified for service in the US Navy with a letter from Dr. Margaret Calloway. It stated that he has a current hernia and is therefore not eligible for service. However, when he began the process of joining the Navy, the hernia (groin) was first discovered. At that time...

I have GERD, which is a stomach/digestive issue. I believed it was disqualifying for the past few years, but just today I read that it is no longer disqualifying if it is controlled. I take medicine for my condition, and as such, it does not affect me at all. It is completely controlled and it...
