When I was filling out the “basic questions” portion of the medical history survey, I accidentally clicked “yes” for the question “do you wear dental braces or Invisalign?” I do not currently wear either, but I have worn them in the past. I put this in the remarks section. It is not letting me...

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...
