Hello!
Today I just completed my optometric examination at a civilian institution. I think I may have failed the depth perception exam because I couldn't tell which circle "stood out" to me. I did correctly identify which animals stood out though. They also noted I have minor esotropia, because...
I wanted to first thank everyone for taking the time to read this post and provide guidance for me and my family moving forward. Thank you in advance!
To provide context, I was medically qualified on November 20th, 2020 and accepted an appointment to USMA in February 2021. I recently found out...
I have a history of strabismus (crossing of the eyes). I have had a strabismus surgery twice in the last 3 years (in 2018 at 15 years old & in 2020 when I was 17 years old). My last surgery was just now a year ago.
Since the last surgery I have not had any issues with double vision, only at the...
Hi- I’m wondering if anyone has seen a strange DoDMERB situation like this/or if they know how to fix it. I am currently in AFROTC, and I have been disqualified for “hearing loss”, which I believe is because I had a faulty/inaccurate hearing test at the DoDMERB contracted-provider. I received...
Hello, I am currently applying to USAFA class of 2025. I have been steadily working on my application since June and I'm happy to report that my CFA, nomination interviews, ALO interviews are all scheduled and/or completed. One thing that I had overlooked throughout the process is the DODMERB...
Hi everyone,
So I was looking up the medical qualifications at
https://dodmerb.tricare.osd.mil/DisqualificationCodes.aspx
and I realized there are different asterisks [*, **, ***] next to different disqualifications.
I couldn't find a key explaining what they meant, and I was wondering if...

Hello, I'm an MSII at my AROTC Battalion, in the process of getting my NG Minuteman scholarship and contracting, and this one condition I have is making me really worried about my upcoming physical in literally 2 days. I have IgA Nephropathy (Berger's Disease) and I found out about this back in...

I completed my exams a week or two ago and my status has been changed to "Complete." How do I know that I am qualified and how long should I expect that to take. Then after that, what's next?
I am currently Active Army and have been selected for the CG's hip pocket scholarship SY 19-20 at my post. I have been accepted to the school and the whole 9 yards. My packet was submitted on the goarmy site and my status is currently eligible as of 25MAR19.
I was wondering if anyone had...
Ughhh...so, our student was accepted to the Academy, has a nomination, etc. but learned that she has been medically disqualified due to a 'mood disorder.' History is that she did discuss concerns with her mood (i.e. some anxiety with school, social situations) with her pediatricians (twice) in...
So I received the AROTC 4-year scholarship and am going to Vanderbilt next year, and am currently scheduling my DoDMERB exams; however, I am a couple pounds over the Army's weight vs height limit. Will this prevent me from being able to go on scholarship? Will I be ineligible to receive my...
Hi there,
I recently became "Board Ready" under my ROTC Cadet Command scholarship status! However, I feel as if my chances are slim of getting the scholarship. Even though the chances don't seem to high, I've decided to look at "next steps," just in case. DoDMERB is definitely on that list...
After looking over the survey that candidates have to take before the DoDMERB appointment, I have a few questions:
1) Under the use of medications portion of the survey, it asks for regular medication use. I currently have an IUD implanted and have not had a period in 3 years. Later on, it asks...

I'm now becoming a senior the moment we start school. And I have already started my application for USAFA. But I have a complete hearing loss in my right ear and I know this will disqualify me on DoDMERB
I was hoping to know if there is any way I could get around that, like a waiver or...
Hi, does anybody know how strict the dodmerb is on scarring? I have a few large noticeable scars on my bicep, from an incident at the beach, but they are all healed. I also have one on my cheek from a snake bite a long time ago. None of these will interfere with the military equipment. Would I...
