I am writing as I have a DS which we found out had a Pilonidal Cyst over the summer. At the time, he had it drained, and when we talked to the doctor, they said if it did not have an issue, then to not worry about it and no procedure to remove the effected area; we had another episode where it...

Does anyone know if there is a waiver for self harm incidents for the United States Naval Academy. It so I would love to hear about the process of obtaining one.

Dodmerb sent me an email telling me to read a letter posted under correspondence but I cannot see any tab named that. Probably stupid but where is it?

Are cadets required to pass both methods of BF% calculation? I did some unofficial calculations, and using the first method, my BF is around 32%, but using the second method it's 26-27% (depending on whether the weight in my DoDMERB portal is used or the weight I took just now. I was about 1 lb...

Just as a quick question. Generally speaking, what does the medical exam (not eye) have in it? What is the procedure, what do you do , or what happens? If not specifically, what happens roughly or most likely? What am I going to most likely or will encounter?

MSIII AROTC. My doctor suggested that I start medication a few weeks ago. I talked about this with all my cadre and they gave me a list of repercussions that made me reconsider and decide not to take medicine. This weekend though I ended up in the ER for a day… they asked me questions and then...

Hi I have a family member who was medically disqualified and could not get a waiver a little over 2 years ago from NROTC for ulcerative proctitis (extremely mild- took medicine for 6 weeks and has not been affected since then). He is now about to graduate college and is interested in going to...

Hello! I received notice this morning from DodMERB that I had a single disqualification on the account of a past shoulder dislocation from a couple years ago. It says “under waiver review” on my portal. Does anyone know what the chance of me getting a waiver for this is? My BGO said that I was...

Hi all, I was wondering if there is a packet or something out there with directions for what to do if you have contacts or glasses. I called my location, and they said that I was not supposed to wear my night contacts for the past three months according to DoDMERB. I haven't heard of this...

I revived an initial DQ from dodmerb for having ADHD and have some remedials. However these remedials don’t seem like they would help them decide in my favor right now they are are just my transcripts and High school IEP. This is my second year (AS200) in Afrotc and I want to make sure to do...

Hey everyone, I just had a quick question about the length of the DODMERB exams. I have my first exam, the medical exam, next Tuesday at 12:00 PM. My second exam, the optometrist exam, is also on the same day, but at 3:30 PM. So, I was wondering how long the average medical exam is, so that I...

Hello, My plan was to join ROTC in college and commission as an officer upon graduation. Looking further into it I have come to realize that being diagnosed with any form of ASD is a PDQ. I have taken an interest in the SMP program and would like to enlist as a reservist upon HS graduation a...

Hi, I am applying for USCGA this fall and I had a few questions about whether my application will be worth it or not. I have a congenital heart defect, a bicuspid valve with mild leakage. The cardiologist says this should have no effect on my athletics or ability to withstand physical pressures...

to cut a LONG LONG story short I come from I deeply troubled household, this led to a lot of different things at a certain points for me… well when I was 15 I self harmed and, I have many scars that I’m not proud of. I wish I could turn back time. I can’t though. Skip to now I’m in college and...

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 have spoken here before about my mountain biking crash I had. Since March when I last spoke, I'm nearly tip-top shape (just gotta get gud at pull-ups). A pediatrician said she will write me a letter of waiver if needed (will get one more for precaution), and a major in the army told me not to...

Hey everyone, I have seen threads similar to my question, but not exactly the same as mine. I received a 3 year Army ROTC scholarship, and I am currently going back and forth with DoDMERB about waivers and medical history and all of the things I am sure you all are aware of. My current status...

Hi, I’ve been on the forums for a while now and have read some things here and there about DODMERB and the overall Waiver process. Despite the fact that I am currently an alternate candidate awaiting a decision; I will still attempt to participate as a CP or eventually apply for OCS. So, the...

I know this is a very specific question that nobody may be able to answer, but I’m wondering if having an Azygos Continuation of the IVC is a disqualification for a pilot slot/AFROTC. It’s asymptomatic with a normal EKG, and I can’t seem to find too much info on it. I’ve looked at the medical...
