USMA and USAFA play it differently than USMMA and USNA. They notify you that a waiver has been requested.
Unless you have an LOA or are asked for additional info from USMMA or USNA as part of the waiver review, you will never know if they are pursuing a waiver or not. Hence all these people on the boards in Pending Waiver Submission/Review status reporting sudden, magical appearances of ‘Not Medically Qualified’ or ‘Waiver approved’ on DODMRB. Which is then typically followed very shortly thereafter by a TWE or Offer of Appointment on their Candidate Portal.
