HI ALL, Yesterday my son received notifcation that he was Dq for Hypertensive vascular disease. The letter seemed vague stating that we could request a waiver through the cadet command and that the USMA grants an automatic waiver.
Is there an example of the waiver? Is there a rebuttal for the DoDMERB? I called and was told no but that we could submit any additional info. So, If we have more BP checks completed and they come back normal does this suffice as additional info?
I am really confused by all this. I am a Medic and have taken plenty of BPs. I have done my research and have had my son go through a battery of exams. All have found him healthy. He is a swimmer, runner, and rower. His average BP is 140/72.
Any info on the waivers, past experience with this Dq would be greatly appreciated!
Paul
