My son is a potential 2013 applicant to the USMA -- we are trying to learn about the process and came across this website. A few questions:
1--broken bones -- if a typical boy has a simple fracture of an arm when he's 10, and it completely heals, is this reported and do we have to track down x-rays or a doctor's report?
2--if an applicant had asthma until age 8 or so, and then never had it again, but used an inhaler with bronchitis at age 15, how do you start the process to get this cleared?
3--if an applicant fainted twice in his life, both times as a result of sunstroke, what will dodmerb require to get this cleared?
Thanks -- I just want to make sure these aren't automatic dq's before we even start and try to figure out how to clear things up so ease the process before my son's heart gets too set on attending an Academy.
