DODMERB Evaluation Preparation - 48 hours before

[trad2026]

Hey! So I have an upcoming DODMERB Medical examination and I'm currently in summer training for Cross Country but the instructions say to not do any strenuous exercise for 48 hours prior to the medical exam and not to drink caffeine 24 hours before.

Does anyone who has gone through this process know how strict this policy or even heard of this being instructed before? I am able to skip a couple practices but nothing that I would be doing would be "strenuous" in comparison to typical days since I train everyday.

Any insight is much appreciated!

This no longer will present any issues: "Hey! So I have an upcoming DODMERB Medical examination and I'm currently in summer training for Cross Country but the instructions say to not do any strenuous exercise for 48 hours prior to the medical exam and not to drink caffeine 24 hours before."
