DS is a strong candidate. Senior with a 4.6 GPA, Valedictorian, 1520 on SAT, Battalion Commander at his military high school, all honors/AP classes, but because of a mild spondy in November 2019, he received the medical DQ email. It said he may be eligible for a medical waiver. His spondy is completely healed, and he has been perfectly able to wrestle better than ever. Is there anything we can do, or do we just have to wait and see if he receives the opportunity to get a waiver? How long should we expect to wait? Any advice??

Doesn’t sound too bad. There is not much he can do now except wait .... There are only 2 guarantees that I know of. So, he should work on other options too.

Zdabney3 - Have your DS email me: Lawrence.e.mullen.civ@mail.mil; provide complete name and last 4; paste your posting above to this email. I can assist him better from there 
My DS was just medically DQ due to thoracic kyphosis at 53 degrees. I know the cutoff use to be 55 degrees but has now been moved to 50 degrees. He received his nomination from MOC on 12/18 to the USNA which is the only SA he applied. Would it be hard to get a waiver for the 3 degrees?
