DoDmerb basics.

Hello United States of America Service Academy Forums!

From what i know this is the dreaded DoDmerb. now can someone tell me what this consists of? Is it just a medical test? Or does it involve PT?
many thanks.

DODMERB is a physical exam and an eye exam. There is no PT - that is covered in a separate PT test specific to the program to which you are applying.

The medical test is a standard physical exam. Be prepared to undress. There is also a reading component and you will be asked to read a paragraph out loud to assess for a speech disorder.
The eye exam is a separate trip to an eye doctor for an eye test.

There is also a medical history component to the DODMERB exam. This is an integral part of the process and it's critical that you complete it thoroughly and honestly. Get a parent to help you if necessary.

In 2011, it took only 2 weeks between the exam and the qualified notification. They try to process as quickly as possible.

Bingo. Every case is unique...not only from a medical standpoint but also an administrative standpoint. From Concorde's end -- we're doing everything we can to process as quickly as possible.
