dodmerb allergies

Is a food allergy ever waiverable? Should we even bother requesting a waiver? Retired Army LTC so I understand deployability -- but how is it you can transition sexes (which I understand can/ could make you non-deplorable depending on what you have done). I understand all the academies follow...

Hi, my name is Leo. I will be a sophomore when I start AFROTC. I have an allergy to shellfish (I was not advised to carry an epipen, though I was provided a prescription in case I wanted one. Which I didn't, so I just carry benadryl to take in case of a reaction and if it doesnt go away I...

As the title says, I appreciate any information regarding MEPS regulations on skin conditions that cause hives, particularly CIU and environmental urticaria (such as cold-induced hives). I have sensitive skin (when I scratch my arm, it turns red pretty quickly (its not dermatographia)) and have...

I've been trying to do my research but have seen multiple conflicting answers on this topic and was hoping someone could help me out. I've noticed that on the USAFA and AFROTC websites it says that history of seasonal allergies past age 12 can be a DQ. I'm currently 14 and get seasonal...

Hello, I just finished my AS100 year in AFROTC and after completing my DODMERB exams was told I’m DQ’d for a history of systemic food allergy and for a history of shoulder instability. I hurt my shoulder playing basketball in high school and had surgery to repair a torn labrum. I’ve had no...

Hi all, I'm on track for NROTC after receiving the Marine Option scholarship, and recently got DQ'd for asthma, allergies, and eczema. For my asthma, I haven't needed my inhaler for any physical activity since I was twelve. My eczema was mild, and I have only gotten it once, two years ago. For...

I need to provide AMIs for my Asthma and ADHD, what do some of you recommend that I provide to them? I was thinking of providing a methacholine challenge test, and requesting my primary care physician to write or send a letter to the respective personnel. Other than those two what should I...

Hello, I am graduating high school in about a month (class of 2021), and still am pending a waiver for USNA due to a non-anaphylactic peanut allergy. I have a final exam in about a week for an ingestion and skin test, and am curious if anyone has any knowledge regarding this area. I have...

Hello everybody, I am new to this forum but have seen a number of helpful posts about allergies and waivers. I have a question about waivers for a DQ due to a tree nut allergy and an astigmatism in excess of 3.00 diopters. A bit of context: I am a three year AROTC winner and a waiver was...

I was recently awarded a 4-year Army ROTC scholarship but have been disqualified by DoDMERB for a peanut allergy (I've already gone through the medical exams for the SAs back in November so DoDMERB just transferred my information to AROTC). Yes, I know that the ROTC cadre at the university I...

I have finished my exams, yet I have a few lingering issues that I want to get resolved as quickly as possible. I am applying to USNA and NROTC. First, in the events section of my DODMERB-DMACS form, will my eye exam results be shown? I took it way before my whole body exam, yet it does not show...

I am excited to be applying for West Point. My biggest worry is the Dodmerb Report of Medical History. I have been getting allergy shots for environmental sensitivities for about 4 years and should be able to stop those in the upcoming year. I rarely need any over the counter meds or anything...

I am an aspiring AROTC student and I was DQ'd for history of food allergies. As a kid, I had a tree nut allergy, but not a peanut allergy (ironically, I'm addicted to peanut butter to this day). However, I have mostly grown out of my tree nut allergies, except for cashew nuts, which I am still...

Good evening, A bit new to the forum so excuse my lack of terminology that may or may not occur. For a little background, I am a senior who received a 4 year AROTC scholarship and a 4 year NROTC scholarship. However, I was diagnosed with a peanut allergy. This was around I was 11, and have had...

I was medically DQ'ed by DoDMERB early on the application process. It was really frustrating because everything that they claimed I had, I didn't. When I was in my physical exam I even stated that I did not have these medical issues. Thankfully I was able to get a waiver to USAFA and I'm fairly...

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...

I'm an AS200 in AFROTC. I have my DoDMERB appointments coming up in a few weeks. I have a minor allergy to peanuts. I can eat small amounts of them, all that happens is when I have too much I get a rash on my arm. I'm constantly exposed to them at home, cross contamination on a daily basis, and...

I am entering the AFROTC this Fall semester as a 250 Cadet. I am curious as to your thoughts on what I should put down on the pre exam dodmerb checklist sheet. I was prescribed allergy medication and received allergy shots for 6 years when I was 10. 20 now. They were for seasonal allergies...
