Hello,

My name is Christian Fin and I am a 4 year AROTC scholarship recipient. I am supposed to go in for remedial testing to determine the Cobb angle of my kyphosis that I was first diagnosed with two years ago. My own doctor evaluated my angle to 58 degrees, and I think the standard for induction is either 50 or 55 degrees. I have never experienced any pain or complications from this condition and I lead a very active lifestyle. Assuming that my remedial x-ray finds that I am at a 58 degree Cobb angle, what are my chances of getting a waiver?
Thank you in advance
 
I'm not a waiver expert but in three decades in military medicine I have seen members with greater than 58 degrees. Different standards for different times maybe. The concern is the proper fitting of military clothing and protective gear. Best of luck.
