My son was awarded a 4-year AROTC scholarship pending medical qualification in the first board. He learned through the DoDMERB website a couple weeks ago that he was medically disqualified due to Hyperhidrosis. His only knowledge of the dq was the DoDMERB website (he never received a letter or anything). He's not really sure who to contact - he's called his person at DoDMERB, ROTC at the university where he plans to attend, and the Brigade Administrator who told him that a waiver request has been submitted (but there is no indication on the DoDMERB website).
It's so frustrating not knowing the process or whom to contact. My son emailed a letter from the diagnosing doctor to the DoDMERB helpdesk (but again, no indication on the DoDMERB website that they received anything). We know they are not the Waiver Authority, but it's our understanding that the WA will access anything submitted there. Really he just wants to confirm the waiver has been submitted and know that his medical statement and records will be seen by the WA.
We know it's a waiting game, but I'd hate for our lack of knowledge/understanding to hold things up.
