medical disqualification

Hi, I have been interested in joining the Air Force for years now. I am 23 and have decided it is finally time. The only thing I am still unsure about is the medical history, what disqualifies you, what you can get a waiver for, and checking medical records. I have been told so many times to...

I know similar threads have been posted here, but my current situation is slightly different. My current medical status is marked as “incomplete”, because during my survey and medical exam I noted currently having orthodontic work. The work is purely cosmetic, however, after sending the required...

I am 20 years old, planning to start NROTC next fall at Virginia Tech. I pass everything on the checklist (even PT test), but I'm fairly certain my shoulders will medically disqualify me from service. When I was 17 I had a surgical repair done on my left shoulder (arthroscopic, minimally...

Hello, I'm an MSII at my schools AROTC Batallion. I fell like I'm in a very very critical moment of decision making in my life and would like some wisdom passed down or any advice. So basically, I enlisted in July of 2018 with my programs NG Recruiter. Ever since then, I've been drilling at RSP...

So here is the situation: I was last seen for "asthma" approximately one month after my 13th birthday. I already know this will result in a DQ. I have never been prescribed any medication or seen for asthma after that date; however, the word "asthma" still appears in my conditions to this day...

sorry dont know how to delete a post

Good Afternoon, Back in 2012 I was diagnosed with vasculitus and underwent treatment. At that point I was, banking on either attending a Service Academy or SMC but was not able to attend either due to recovering. Fast forward to 2016, I vehemently still had the urge to serve and commission so...

Hello, I have had my medical file reviewed yesterday and my newest message today is: Date letter sent - Single Disqualification (D211.50 and D164.70). I don't understand how I was disqualified by these measures; the physician that checked me said I had no issues at all, and throughout my life I...

Hi, I'm currently an MS3 at my university. I'm an SMP drilling cadet which was part of my rotc minuteman scholarship and I was just diagnosed with Factor V Leiden, a blood clotting disorder. I turned my paperwork in on January 16th so it's been about 6 weeks since submitting my paperwork to...

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...

i am an MSII in my second semester of Army ROTC. I am already contracted and on a 4 year national scholarship. Recently I have been diagnosed with ADHD and Anxiety and was prescribed medication for it. (Adderal and some anti anxiety med) I told my chain of command because that’s what I was...

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...

Unfortunately, I learned today that I had been medically disqualified from AROTC for the same reasons that disqualified me from attending USMA. Is it possible that the waiver review for AROTC will somehow turn out differently than it did for USMA? Is there still hope? Thanks.
