waiver

Hello. My son received and appt to the uscga. His was DQ thru dodmerb due to gerd. His waiver and appeal were denied as well even though his md wrote s letter stating he was off medication (he had been off over 6 months) and had no gerd or acid reflux. My question is he wants to re apply again...

My son received a LOA last fall, received his nomination, aced the physical test, and was DoDMERB disqualified (we expected it). He had all testing done and submitted all documents for the waiver by early February 2017 and received his waiver on May 2017. Unfortunately, the LOA "expired" on...

My daughter was offered a 4 year AFROTC scholarship. Her DoDMERB status is currently Pending Waiver Submission/Review. Her disqualification code is D155.70 Myopia - refractive error greater than -8.0 diopters. She called to get her test results; one eye was -7.75 and the other was -7.75 with...

So I am CPR for the time being and I am still in need of a waiver. What is typically the process for which I can still obtain an appointment? As in, would USNA send me an email stating a conditional offer of appt. dependent on what DoDMERB says (already cleared for other SA)? Or would they still...

Hello everyone, I have a question regarding my chances at an appointment. Some backstory first: When I began my application to USAFA, I was still playing football as an offensive lineman and was 6'2" and 275. They asked me to get a body fat measurement, which I did, and it came back at 28%...

This is currently my second year applying to the academy. Last year I was medically disqualified due to a prescription to Isotretinoin (Accutane) and a very small amount of eczema I developed while on the drug and even though I finished my treatment with no issues I was deemed competitive enough...

Hello, Things have been quite bleak lately. Earlier this month my USMA Regional Coordinator called me to let me know that the USMA will not be doing any waivers for Psoriasis. I do not know what this means. Regardless, I had my dermatologist write a letter about the condition of my psoriasis...

Hello all!! Quick question. I heard somewhere that if you end up getting a waiver that your chances of getting appointed are pretty good. I don't remember where I saw this, but it makes sense to me that they wouldn't give a candidate a waiver then immediately reject them. In my case, I just...

I am applying to the USMA, and have completely finished my application over a month ago; however, I ran into problems with a DoDMERB disqualification for ADHD. I have been off of the medication for over a year and have improved my grades while off of medication, as well as scoring a 29 ACT (for...

The first time I attempted to join the military was with the Airforce in 2014. As I went through the medical questions with the recruiter I answered Yes to the question about spinal curve/deformity (scoliosis) The recruiter told me to get all the records I have from it and get current X-Rays...

This morning I was medically disqualified from West Point for ADHD. I have been off of my medication for almost a year now, have never had any additional accommodations for ADHD, have taken my ACT off medication and scored a 30, improved my GPA by .5 points off of the medication first semester...

My DoDMERB status changed to Pending Waiver Submission/Review for code D211.50-History of head injury with associated post injury manifestations for both the USNA and the USAFA. I'm wondering if anyone has ever dealt with this particular issue and what the outcome was and how long it took to...

Hello Forum Last year December I had received a letter of assurance for West Point and now the only thing awaiting me was medical waiver since I was disqualified for Myopia. However when I had information requested I had accidentally sent it twice which restarted the whole process that they were...

i am a highschool senior and I received a 3 year AROTC scholarship. I recently had surgery because I tore my acl and meniscus. Will I qualify for a medical waiver and will I be able to pursue AROTC as planned? I am just concerned and am looking for answers. My expected recovery period is 9-12...

Has there been any documented cases where West Point has granted a waiver for myopia?

Hello all, I've been working towards a waiver for a shoulder dislocation and surgery for a few months now. This morning, during my hourly check of the big three (USMA portal, DoDMERB website, and SAF), I saw that under "Official Correspondence" on the USMA candidate portal, there was a PDF...

I've received a phone call from my RC this morning that USMA have not granted a waiver for my high myopia due my "progressive dry eyes" symptoms that could lead to increased risk for retinal detachment. This came as a shock to me, for I have never been diagnosed by my family optometrist for any...

I have been officially disqualified by DoDMERB's standards on November 21, 2016 after sending my required AMI's. Since then, my portal has said "Pending Waiver Submission/Review by USNA." I was wondering if this meant that USNA has requested a waiver for me, or they have not looked at my case...
