Medical History

[gussenn]

I’m pretty new at all of this and just starting this medical process. I was awarded an AROTC Scholarship and plan to accept. It has come to my attention that it may be pretty complicated getting medically cleared due to my history. I have had multiple small bowel resections due to GI bleeds, the most recent being three years ago. Although I am 100% healthy and have no continuing affects of the surgeries or medical problems, I’m worried that I won’t get a waiver. I was just wondering if you guys have had any similar experiences or any advice. Thank you
