    Is anyone having trouble logging into DoDMERB today?

    I guess my real question is, am I about to be turned down for a medical waiver? I can log into my USNA account just fine, but when I attempt to log into DoDMERB, it says “invalid username or login”. I did get logged in last night and was able to view it. Any help would be great, thanks!

    Learned DS was DQ'd today but have not learned what the condition is that led to it. I'm thinking it might be a short bout of depression a few years ago (with treatment/medication) and maybe a football injury to his ankle that was no big deal. My question is how much work should we do now to...
