Hi all,
I am hoping that I can find some guidance/advice on how to be proactive with the DoDMERB waiver/rebuttal process.
I have an allergy to Brazil Nuts. I've only ever had one reaction (when I was 5) and have not had any issues since. The reaction, however, was deemed to be anaphylactic. I do carry an Epi-Pen but I have never used it.
My first DoDMERB physical will be in early November (kinda late I know, I've been waiting to submit my CAR form until the paperwork for my Eagle Scout rank clears). I'm pretty certain that a DQ will be in the cards for me and I want to start preparing for that process as soon as I can.
I understand that my prospects aren't great with my food allergy but I'm hoping that the relative rarity of Brazil Nuts in food will work in my favor. I'm a strong candidate for USMA as well as within my district - I have also received an LOE. I would really appreciate any advice on the rebuttal/waiver process.
Thank you!
