Sorry for the lengthy question, but a little background:
I am a Class of 2027 applicant who has received two LOAs to USNA and USMA as well as noms to both from my local MOC. When the DODMERB site was up, the two waiver requests from both academies appeared for the same condition in early September: my astigmatism. I find it odd, but I actually received both of my LOAs after the DQ conditions/waivers were listed, and in fact, received my USNA LOA the same day as my nomination (very recently). Since my medical is the ONLY thing I have not yet completed in my application to both academies, and literally the only thing preventing me from receiving an appointment to both, is there any way to find out the progress of my waiver or to see if any additional records/examination is being requested even if DODMERB is down? Prior to the site being down, I had an additional exam requested by USMA and that info was forwarded to them. My main goal is USNA, but I know there’s no way to see if they requested anything similar currently. I know it is probably unrealistic to expedite this process, but I am getting anxious because I’ve heard of how long the waiver process can take. Any advice/help would be appreciated. Thanks!
