Heard back from DoDMERB today. My status is waiting on remedials. It also says I’m pending disqualification for uncorrected ACL injury. Does uncorrected mean not surgically corrected or not 100% resolved?
Next there are some remedials I’m supposed to submit. I need to get a 24 hour Holter monitor study (I was nervous and had to exert myself before my physical so I had a high heart rate at the start of the exam). I then have to get a kyphosis/scoliosis study (don’t have either as confirmed by the medical exam but kyphosis was in my records for complicated reasons so I reported it). Then I have to get another kyphosis study analyzing the results of the first study.
So am I expected to get these studies by seeking out doctors on my own? What is that process like?
Also I am very likely going to be unable to go to USAFA this year due to the ACL injury. See my post history to learn more about that I guess. So if I give up on this year and don’t complete the remedials soon will that affect any future reapplication to USAFA?
Finally for a pretty pointless question: Are remedial requests usually about the least important items? I have zero remedial requests for a recent significant injury and surgery but one for a fast heart rate that’s documented as being much lower 10 minutes later and two requests for a 100% resolved issue that was noted as such in the exam. It just seems a little weird to me.
And yes I will be informing USAFA about by new DoDMERB status. I’m asking here though because previously USAFA has told me that they can answer zero questions about medical stuff.
