Hi,
I’ll make this as short as I can to read. I have a preexisting condition. It’s called factor 2 blood disorder or prothrombin deficiency. It’s a coagulation disorder that increases clotting risk and is disqualifying. I have had 0 problems my entire life, I’ve played contact sports, various other sports, I’m insanely healthy and very fit. Doctor said I would never have a problem with it ever. Even got my blood tested and it’s healthy (still has the trait though). In addition to this, the position I’m aiming for is officer school for marines, particularly intelligence. That’s my top choice. I’d be willing to do reserves officer intel as well, and I’d be willing to try other branches to do officer intel and if not reserve officer intel. Basically I have a first option and options I’d be okay with after that. Based upon my health status and it hasn’t caused problems, and the fact that I’m not doing a combat related job, what are my chances of a waiver? The reason I brought up alternatives is because they might have a higher chance of getting a waiver, such as a reserve position. I’d even be a JAG too that’s an option for me. Essentially I have two questions. 1) what are the initial chances of a waiver for marines officer intel, 2) would other branches/positions/reserves increase those odds. This is a disqualifying condition FYI and I’m not sure the waiver policy on it. Again it’s a Factor 2 blood disorder and I will never have a problem with it unless I become obese and sedentary which won’t happen to me, least not in the military at that.
