DODMERB Tattoos?

[ArmyROTCSecondYear]

Howdy, I'm a reapplicant with a couple of tattoos. Is DODMERB in charge of documenting tattoos before the academies decided whether or not they are waiverable? I noticed that I needed another medical waiver for something else but nothing about the tattoos. My doctor only drew the tattoos onto the medical form from DODMETS and didn't take any photos. Am I jumping the gun (ie will further tattoo documentation be required later) or did they pass? I researched USNA's tattoo policy and they definitely pass.

DoDMERB documents the location, size, and type tattoos.
The Academies Admission offices adjudicate tattoos

If you are appointed to USNA, you will fill out a tattoo form. Describing them. As part of your paperwork. May include a pic request, I don’t recall. But I do remember my boys filling it out as part of their paperwork.

Drawn to this thread bc wondered why someone would have a ‘DODMERB’ tat

I sure many of us suspected it. The DoDMERB crest and a banner with “we leave none behind,” I think.
