waiver

Hello, I recently learned that my medical waiver for “history of anxiety disorders” was denied by the USNA Medical Admissions. This factor stems from my visiting of a school counselor 2 times, roughly 2 1/2 years ago for some stress/anxiety I was feeling at the time. I was never on medication...

I've had my LOA since March, but medical was the only thing holding me back. Finally got my waiver for anemia granted this monday. The months of work and research finally paid off. Coming from congressional district 12 of GA: See y'all at USAFA 2030!

I'm 24 years old and looking to join either the Army or Navy, however, I do understand there are medical dx's that can be disqualifying. I want to gather more information before speaking directly with a recruiter. I have a history of Anxiety and C-PTSD. I was diagnosed as an adult, recently...

Last week, I received a waiver for a disqualifying condition from USMA and am now 3Qed. Does receiving a waiver impact my chances of appointment in any way, and what will the timeline be for hearing back from USMA? Also, if I am appointed, how will having needed a waiver affect my time at the...

Hello, After originally being deferred from early action, I was just notified by DoDMERB that USCGA has initiated the waiver process! From my understanding, this means I was appointed? I believe USCGA only does waivers if an appointment is being offered; however, I have yet to hear anything...

USCGA specific: Any insight on tree nut allergies? Experiences with medical waivers? My son is currently seeing an allergist specifically to be accepted to USCGA. He should be an ideal high stats candidate and an asset to a sports team. We’ve read DoD medical standards re: food allergy and...

I'm currently a junior at George Washington University in Navy ROTC, on a Marine option scholarship. I've just recently had surgery on both hips for FAI and a labral repair. I currently play NCAA Division 1 soccer for GW, which was the leading cause for this injury. I have 6-9 months left of...

For context, I'm enrolled in the rotc and smp program through my college, but I've yet to take the DoDMERB. I won't get too deep into it, but during middle-school I was living in a very abusive home environment and turned to s/h. I have a decent amount of scars on my thighs that are still...

So part of my worries for ROTC/DoDMERB has been a longtime peanut allergy. I’ve never ingested peanuts or anything similar, but I was diagnosed with the allergy when I was young (as well as this last summer). Long story short, about 5 minutes ago I unknowingly ate a peanut butter no-bake...

My DS applied last November (USAFA), with noms completed , but only able to complete the checklist last month due to the required "Certificate of Citizenship" (they don't accept US passports so had to apply for the CoC and waited 3 months). Anyway, he received an LOA just a couple of days after...

Hello All, Just a few minutes ago, I was informed that I had been disqualified from obtaining a medical waiver for USMA and my case is closed, which is heartbreaking. I would like to know if that also translates to being disqualified from obtaining a waiver to USNA and if it makes my chances of...
