I was assigned a remedial to get a blood count from DODMERB. How long do assignments for doctors usually take? I asked my case manager and I was instructed to log into dodmets where I saw this message: “CIV Team is in the process of locating a Doctor to perform your Remedial. Please call CIV...

Hi, I am currently pending a medical waiver for West Point, which is due by April 30th. I was granted a medical waiver by USAFA and received an appointment. My WP RC told me they would send a note to the medical staff and help push my waiver up (that was almost a month ago). I have not been...

Hello everyone, I have recently been appointed to both USMA and USAFA in hopes of joining the medical field. I am aware that both are very competitive with their medical program/scholarship, with only about 2% (20 cadets) getting it each year, however it is something that I want to do. I want to...

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...

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...

Hello all, what is the general USNA attitude towards those that choose to go to the Navy Medical Corp and enter medical school directly after USNA? (https://www.usna.edu/ChemDept/ChemMajor/med-corps-info.php) I have heard, from those that are not midshipmen, the military tends to "disapprove"...

AROTC MSIII. A couple days ago I emailed my PMS that I was diagnosed with anxiety and smth else. I told him I’m probably going to start taking medication soon as well since I’m not getting better with therapy. I’m sure he’s read it… Should I follow up with him in person? Or send a follow up...

MSIII here. Do I talk about the medical update with my PMS (meeting) or email the records to him so there’s a written record? Or do I send it up the CoC? I am very crushed/emotional of the medical update bc it’s still fresh so I think it would be difficult to discuss with the PMS in person. It...

Hi everybody, I’ve seriously been struggling with mental health for this past month. It’s getting exponentially worse after trying lots of other options. In the past ive always been very anxious and extra emotional — but my school and activities helped keep me distracted. Now, it’s not seeming...

As the title states, I’m a rising 2/C with eczema unsure of when I should seek help. I had a waiver to get in here for it, and it has been doing alright and been manageable until this summer. I’ve flared pretty badly, but know that since I have not signed 2 for 7, I’m at risk for separation of...

Hey y’all. Quick hypothetical question. What happens, if I get diagnosed with HIV while on an NROTC scholarship. What would happen to my career? Would I have pay the scholarship money back? Any clarification helps, thanks.

My CFA scores turned green into "On File and passed" and my DodMERB also became "Qualified" on the 24th of last month. I have also secured my nomination from the local US embassy. It's definetely not a guarantee, but it's a sign of good things to come, right?

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...

Hello! I got an LOE from the Air Force Academy in mid-December that said a spot in the USAFA class of 2027 would be reserved for me provided I "meet all admissions requirements to include a qualified medical status." The letter continued to ask me to "submit all [of my] remaining admissions...

Hello everyone, I am applying to West Point and have all my application items (including a nomination) submitted on my portal except for my medical. I had to make a remedial appointment, so the status is labeled as "Remedial" and has been since late October. I assumed the issues with getting...

Hello, I currently have my LOA to USMA and am waiting on medical results. However, the only thing that is bugging me is the fact that I said yes to having braces because although I do not have braces anymore, I feel as though my answer could be misconstrued as me currently having braces...

Hello everyone, I am filling out my questionnaire, and I have completed every section except for the follow-up question for the Medications. When I navigate to that section, it gives me a blank screen, preventing me from filling it out and completing my questionnaire. I have tried opening...

I wanted to ask if it would be worth joining AFROTC. I am getting off of my small dosage of prozac in roughly a week. Last year I had to deal with some life issues and was prescribed the antidepressant for some anxiety. I was wondering what circumstances this would be waiverable in, if possible...

Received an email from a USMMA admissions officer requesting additional medical information. I’m not sure if there are forms I need to fill out or if these are like paragraph numbers (like “pursuant to/in accordance with document R paragraph 251 sentence 22”?) Thanks for your help! Here’s the...
