dodmerb

A few weeks ago I had my DoDMERB physical exam. After it had been submitted, I received an email from DoDMERB stating that my file needs additional medical information, specifically "Missing CYL/AXIS values on eye exam." I called the DoDMERB office to see what I needed to do and they said that...

Hello everyone, been a bit since I've posted on here. Is there a different likelihood of getting a waiver when applying through ROTC vs an SA? My understanding is that waivers are considered IF a scholarship is granted for the ROTC program. On the other hand, USNA and the other SA's take into...

I recently took my DoDMERB eye exam. Colorblindness runs in my family, so I have previously taken colorblindness tests which I have passed. During the DoDMERB exam, I messed up on a few of the colorblindness slides. I don’t think I’m colorblind, since I have passed tests of this nature before...

Last year I went to a doctor and he diagnosed me and gave me a prescription but I soon stopped taking it when I saw it wasn't working. I then went on vacation to Spain and the pharmacist told me it was actually just Tinea Versicolor that got cleared up very fast with an anti-fungus cream but...

Good evening, Is it possible to still get a nomination if I got DQed? Would getting a nomination show to the service academies I am competitive for a waiver? If you get a waiver and a nomination, can you still get rejected by admissions? Is it common in general for people to get a waiver for...

Hi Everyone, I am currently in AFROTC. I have a bicuspid aortic valve with moderate aortic regurgitation. I am in my freshman year and have not yet started the dodmerb process. I know that I am going to get medically disqualified due to this condition. However, according to the Airforce...

Is anyone aware of a consult that focuses on the DODMERB? My son wants to apply to some of the academies and want to successfully navigate the process. Seems like there are numerous potential pitfalls and would like guidance. I see there was a firm DODMERB consultants discussed several...

Hi all! I was wondering if a history of having an std is a disqualifying factor for DoDMERB... I'm trying to be 100% honest on the DoDMERB survey and paperwork. Is it a disqualifying factor if you somehow happen to have contracted an std in the past, but you're completely healthy now? What about...

Hello, I won a three-year side load NROTC MO scholarship. I am currently “Under Waiver Review” for a D161.21 “History of surgery for peptic ulceration or perforated ulcer”. Since this surgery I have recovered, and continued back to unrestricted actives. I currently take no medications, and went...

Hello all, I am joining AROTC this fall semester, and in preparation, I have been stalking these forums and have requested my own medical history. Aside from the stuff that I know is legit from my actual doctor, I found a form from when I had an ingrown toenail removed in 2019. My main concern...

Hello, I'm in my last quarter as a Junior at a University in California. I had previously been to MEPs but was medically DQed due to being unable to get a waiver for vision. Now I'm trying through DODMERB for Army ROTC. I have gotten the results and I have received six medical codes which are...

I was accepted into USAFA and have to get medically cleared before I can attend. I was disqualified for a history of asthma, so I had to complete some additional testing, including a pre and post-bronchodilator pulmonary function test and consultation with a pulmonologist. The next appointment...

Hello, I am currently getting through the DoDMERB process after being accepted for an NROTC scholarship. I have completed and submitted the medical history exam; however, after reviewing the locked answers it seems that some of my dates are not exact on some of the injuries I obtained during...

After going inpatient for depression incited by a really screwy divorce paired with a (surgically resolved shortly after inpatient) medical condition (PANDAS), I started seeing a therapist, and then switched after two years when parents couldn't agree on something insurance related (i dont...

Back in the summer, I had a pretty devastating virus that blocked my airways; around the same time, my parents had noticed that I had pretty bad snoring and I was getting up at night, so they ordered a sleep study for me. The doctors eventually diagnosed me with minor obstructive sleep apnea...
