I was recently disqualified from AFROTC for having a history of mental illness. I was reevaluated by a psychiatrist and they were able to write a review for me stating that I was probably misdiagnosed with mental illness or that they "could see no reason for being diagnosed with mental illness". I decided I am going to try Army ROTC instead because everyone is saying that their DODMERB is easier but I still need a waiver to continue in that program. I read that some people have made oral challenges to their disqualifications and I would like to do the same for my case. Is an oral challenge like a courtroom-style thing where I can talk to the waiver authority in person? Who would be the POC for requesting the challenge?
I am slightly confused about how the Army ROTC DODMERB works. Is it a completely different waiver authority that looks through my case?
Thank you for taking the time to read. I appreciate any help or advice you can offer about my situation.
