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. Variocele, hydrocele, or any scrotal mass, swelling or pain" I answered yes to this as I once had a varicocele in my left testicle that was fixed with varicocele ligation....
Why do they ask about both testicles if only right side is disqualifying according to the "waiver guide"
The form DoDI 6130.03, March 30, 2018 https://www.med.navy.mil/sites/nmotc/nami/arwg/Documents/WaiverGuide/DODI_6130.03_JUL12.pdf
Under disqualifying conditions it indicates that the Varicocele is only disqualifying if current and only when on the right side....
e. Current varicocele, unless it is: (1) On the left side only. (2) Asymptomatic and smaller than the testes. (3) Reducible. (4) Without associated testicular atrophy.
The candidate's varicocele in question WAS 1) on the left side only 3) reducible 4) without associated testicular atrophy AND it is no longer present.
Please advise.
