DoDMERB remedial review

does anyone know how long it takes for remedial paperwork to be reviewed? Concerned review may not happen before the application deadline.

My buddy who worked at DODMERB said their busiest months were December and January. Might be a while.

Your DODMERB exam and remedials don’t have to be finished with a review before deadline. I think you should hope for a DODMERB disposition though before the middle of April because that’s when the SAs finish sending out almost all their appointments.

Medical qualification is not subject to the Jan. 31 deadline. You must be medically qualified before you can receive an appointment, which is obviously before I-Day. It need not necessarily be by April 15, if the issue is likely to resolve prior to I-Day. USNA might give you an LOA conditioned on medical clearing or take some other step to let you know you have an appointment subject to medical. Most medical issues, however, are resolved by mid-April.

Also, if DODMERB DQs, a waiver request happens automatically. However, USNA doesn't review those requests until they decide they are likely (or certain) to offer someone an appointment. So some candidates may never have their waiver requests evaluated.
