waiver

Hello everybody I hope you all are doing well, I would like to share my concern regarding my remedial submission. Please share your thoughts if you are going through a similar situation. I submitted my AMI's at the beginning of March, and I am still waiting to hear back from DoDMERB. I...

What would be the qualification determination for a candidate of USNA and USMMA class of 2024 who had a Left (only) Varicocele corrected via ligation in the summer of 2018. A full recovery occurred. There is now no varicocele present. From my research this is what I have found: Ex: "57...

My DD, a second year applicant received a DQ because her BMI was a little high. Upon review it was determined that an error had been made. That was confirmed by an AFROTC Physical Fitness Assessment. In that assessment, besides her BMI being within the margin for a waiver, her fitness score was...

I have a question, and am looking for some insight. Today I saw that on DoDMETS, my status is "Closed." This is great news, as it seems that my info is moving forward. So I logged into to the website of DoDMERB, and saw that for each academy that I have applied to, there is a status of "Under...

Hi! I applied to 3 academies and NROTC. I have a medical disqualification and received a waiver for both USNA and USAFA. NROTC is still pending—for weeks my status said “Under Waiver Review”. Just recently my status for NROTC has changed to “Under DoDMERB Review”. What is the difference between...

My son was medically disqualified on December 9 due to a dislocated patella. DODMERB status says under waiver review but portal status still says disqualified. He has emailed his RC twice to explain the situation but hasn’t heard anything. Is there anything else he can do or do we all just need...

Before I go any further, I want to state that I know I have made a grave mistake (several, in fact). I am prepared to be disqualified and I understand that my actions will have consequences. However, I would also very much like to not be disqualified and I believe that I have grown since my...

Hi I am a second year on-campus, non-scholarship, ROTC cadet and DODMERB DQ'd me a couple of months ago for having "a history of atopic dermatitis or eczema after 12th birthday." I misdiagnosed myself and rushed through the DODMERB questionnaire stating that I had a small case of eczema a month...

Dear Everyone, I am currently in the process of applying to the USNA and the USMMA, I have completed every step and the last thing I needed was to be cleared by DODMERB. They had flagged me for having a history with psoriasis. In reality I have a mild case of psoriasis that isn't visible, my...

These questions are for @DoDMERB - Deputy Chief or anyone who might know: 1. An applicant has been given a single DQ and then awarded a waiver from two separate SAs with only an applicant statement requested. The third has requested that the applicant see a specialist. Once the applicant sees...

Currently, I have an LOA to USAFA, pending nomination and medical qualification. My problem is that I've been DQ'd for shoulder dislocation that happened last month. :( I have scheduled a surgery for around the end of December. After surgery, I will have to do rehab and physical therapy to build...

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...

Hi, First, I must apologize for the vagueness of this information. My DS is in graduate school and has been handling this situation on his own. He is reticent with info b/c he does not want his parents intervening; however, I need help understanding what is going on and if anything can be done...

I wonder how many candidates (ROTC/SAs/OCS) are DoDMERB qualified without needing a waiver (that is, they make the DoDI 6130.03 requirements). Seems to me that this percentage would be quite low considering the number of people on here with DQs and waivers.

I have self harm scars on one forearm and one thigh from 8+ years ago. It's obvious what it is so I'm being honest and up front about it. My recruiter said I need to get a medical clearance letter from a psychologist to submit with my medical. I've found a doctor that is willing to help me, but...

I am trying to enlist in the US Army. My recruiter had submitted waivers for some surgeries I had when I was younger. They got approved but he "forgot" to put in a Med form for a hernia I had repaired. I asked if he could add it and he told me that I could only submit one waiver and I was just...

My daughter has submitted her portion of her USCGA application for Early Action. She is going in for her medical test tomorrow. We think there is a chance that due to a childhood medical condition (which was corrected and is no longer an issue or any kind of restriction) that she might initially...

My daughter is a high school senior and has submitted her portion of her application to the USCGA to be considered for Early Action. She is going in for her physical exam tomorrow for DODMERB. She was born with a kidney problem, but had surgery at 5 months which completely corrected the issue...

My daughter is in the process of applying for the USAFA and I have a question about the medical form. She was diagnosed with environmental allergies (runny nose, sneezing, etc.) as a child and completed a course of allergy shots and has been medication/shot free for 2 years with no symptoms...

I’m a sophomore in college right now and I was planning on joining the ROTC. My plan was to take a year off college, enlist in the regular army first, and then join the ROTC as an SMP. (I know that you don’t have to enlist beforehand but I want to do it.) So the problem is that recently I was...
