I'm asking because though I plan on applying for Class of 2026, I just wanted to go through the medical exam ahead of time to see if I have any disqualifying conditions.

Since you are in the USNA forum, I assume you have followed the general advice to read every page, drop down, link on USNA.edu, your primary source, and found:


There is also the DOD accession standard:

+10 @Capt MJ .... DODMERB will assign a medical coordination contractor to your case. The coordination contractor will reach out to you by email and assist with scheduling your separate Medical & Eye exams with providers in your area.

The coordinator will also send to you a prescreening medical questionnaire that you will review, answer the questions, and bring with you to your scheduled exams.

Follow the links that @Capt MJ has listed above. You will probably find the information you are looking for.

FYI — for what it’s worth, be careful about the difference between “Diagnosed and Treated for chronic or acute conditions” versus “I had a rash for about a week when I was twelve, but that was it”.

Yes. I have already seen these. What I meant though was the official form the doctors use for the Medical exam. I was wondering what it looked like so I could take that medical exam ahead of time just in case they find something disqualifying. Thank you.
 
What is the point of taking the exam ahead of time -- other than it will waste your time and your parents' money?

First of all, the only person's opinion who counts is the MD conducting the exam. The fact your MD finds or doesn't find anything is irrelevant. Let's assume your personal MD finds something he/she thinks is disqualifying -- what are you going to do about it?

Second, many (if not most) remedials come from the questions on the forms you fill out. Answer them truthfully and accurately and then see what, if anything else, DODMERB needs. For many, it's nothing at all.

To answer your question, no it is not.
 
The culmination of a lot of good answers:

1. To answer your question, no it is not.
2. What is the point of taking the exam ahead of time -- other than it will waste your time and your parents' money?
3. There is also the DOD accession standard:

4. Google "DoDMERB" Hit "Questions about the Process" Read the entire document. Applicants for the Class of 2026 will be waaaaaayyy ahead of the power curve, by taking the above actions :wiggle:
 
Thanks for everyone's help. The reason I asked this in the first place is because I already have several conditions that may disqualify me if they worsen. I just didn't want something to come up out of nowhere during my medical exam that will prevent me from getting into the Naval Academy when the time comes. I just wanted to prepare ahead of time instead of my dream being crushed after all these years of working towards the Academy due to a medical condition.
 
Keep working toward your goal but develop alternatives, including a college path that does not head to a commission. This is adult life, with all its joys, challenges, privileges, frustrations and unknowns. Take your shot, see how you do.
 
First, take advantage of Mr. Mullen's offer.

Third, some people have conditions that prevent military service. Was just visiting with a friend whose DS, from the time he was a little kid, only wanted to fly jets. He never even considered doing anything else in life. Has 20/15 vision. BUT. . . has a depth perception issue that can't be corrected. His dream was over -- terribly tough pill to swallow. Then, he moved on and found a different path to happiness and success in life.
